PIMA

CLARA HASELOFF

Visual artist in Berlin, Stuttgart, Böblingen & Sindelfingen specializing in painting surreal portraits and creating illustrations & designs. In my works, I give emotions surreal personalities by blending realistic concepts with abstract elements. I find inspiration in the senses, in music, movement, animals and the magic of now.

Art has an essential impact for all of us, both for the observer and the artist. My art is shaped by the belief that intuition possesses a transformative power, making images visible to provide space for reflection and expression. I believe in healthy and potential-oriented work that utilizes and nurtures individual mental and physical capabilities. The language of intuition is fluent and coherent, it leads the way. 

Artistic experiences:

I like working with hands and imagination, from time to time with new mediums to learn new techniques, always inspired by those who teach me. 

Mainly I focus on acrylic painting & digital illustrations and my creative experiences extends to portrait painting & drawing, caricaturing, mural painting, productdesign, linocut, portrait-, product-, and fashion photography, video shooting and editing, digital animation & 3D construction, sculpting with clay, soapstone, wood, and model foam.

For balance I practice dancing and yoga since 2015 as forms of physical self-exploration as well as playing guitar, singing & juggling in the outdoors.

 

Life and career:

In my childhood, I loved drawing fictional characters inspired by Japanese anime, together with my bestie. During elementary school time I attended music and art school. After secondary school, I completed my vocational diploma and studied product design at a college in Sindelfingen. 

My journey continued into photography, and I spent a year learning from advertising photographer Vlado Golub in Sindelfingen. During this time, I experimented with photography and film, exploring portraits and compositions and taking on my personal projects. PIMA became a sort of artist's name, serving as a heading for my visual expressions.

Building on three years of training as a technical product designer, I worked in the automotive industry at Bertrandt AG for an additional two years. Until I realized that I had to listen to another call within me, I decided to travel to Asia for several months in 2016.

On Bali, I discovered meditation and yoga practices, which was leading me to Berlin in 2017, where I completed my yoga teacher training according to BDY with Peter Greve & Nicole Verheyden.

During my travels to Sri Lanka 2018, I painted murals for a hostel. This was one of my favorite life experiences and reignited my artistic passion in the community. Inspired, upon my return in Berlin, I spent several months working on my first illustrated short story "der blinde Fuchs mit seinem magischen Koffer" aiming to capture the power and fire of the heart.

As I came to understand the potential of collaborative work, I created artwork designs in collaboration with musicians and worked with a school friend on setting up an exhibition showcasing 90s designer outfits from the American sitcom "The Nanny" what took place in 2022 in Lille, France at „Series Mania“ the television series festival. 

In 2022, when I met Bob b. we decided to marry our artistic personalities and founded KEINESEL.
PTRCH the music producer from Berlin gave us his sound and we gave him our vocals. From the final song we produced a music video called "iA", which won an award for the best horror music video at the "Las Vegas Music Video Awards 2024".

Currently I have my creative space at BAOBABWOD in Berlin-Mitte and am working on my own series of canvas paintings entitled "PIMANICS".

Look forward to the further projects!
