Andreas Claussen

Andreas Claussen, born in 1988 in Hanover, Germany, is a pioneering oil painter whose journey from law studies to the art world underscores his deep-seated passion for visual storytelling. Claussen’s oeuvre is particularly noted for his FLOOD series, in which an anonymous astronaut traverses a dystopian, flood-ravaged Earth. This body of work is a testament to Claussen’s ability to weave humor and irony into vibrant, textured oil paintings that explore themes of resilience, optimism, and the essence of human existence. Through the lens of his faceless protagonist, Claussen invites viewers to reflect on adaptability and the everyday challenges of life, often incorporating iconic symbols—such as the inflatable pool flamingo—to critique and comment on human culture.

Claussen has exhibited his work in galleries and at major art fairs in Germany, with his paintings collected throughout Europe, South Korea, Canada, and the United States. He continues to live and work in Lower Saxony, Germany, where he pushes the boundaries of narrative and visual storytelling through his dynamic body of work.
