Claudi Kessels

A wild daffodil is the beard of the sailor who would rather work in his garden than travel on the ocean for days and nights with a rough crew. A crumpled map is the dress for the girl who takes a jump and decides to be less of a control freak.

Claudi Kessels’ work often combines photographical elements with drawings. These photographical elements are chosen with great care: they tell part of the story, refer to a time, place, moment in history, give a twist and add to the power of the illustration.

Kessels works and lives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After studying English language and literature and teaching for five years at a secondary school in Amsterdam, she decided follow her dreams and applies for the popular art school the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Claudi Kessels won the Items & Industry Prize with her exam work.
