Portrait of Claudia Humburg

The Artist's Journey

Claudia Humburg grew up in Germany near a wilderness preserve. The forest was her playground and her horses, her friends. Enjoying nature and interacting with wildlife was profoundly important to her and enjoyed continuously by her family.

Among other schools, she graduated from Art School "Die Maske" in Germany and quickly gained a reputation as a top make-up artist and hairstylist. Her professional successes in Germany created a business trip to Hollywood and Southern California. Her professional life blossomed immediately, but it was the breadth, scope and quality of California's eco-system that stole her heart. America's magnificent eco-systems, national parks and its nature-conservation culture emotionally overwhelmed her.

Claudia's craftsmanship has graced the covers of multiple publications including Vanity Fair, Vogue and InStyle. Her work has supported brand names like Avon, Bacardi, Coca Cola, Disney and Mercedes Benz to just name a few. She has collaborated with some of the world's most renowned photographers including Annie Leibovitz, Patrick Demarchelier, Sheri Belafonte and Mario Testino. Additionally, she reinforced the attractiveness of countless celebrities including, Salma Hayek, Uma Thurman, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Liza Minnelli, Milla Jovovich. In short, she has reached the pinnacle of mainstream media content creation. Few people have had the privilege of being so intimate with the world's beauty and glamour elite, as has Ms. Humburg. Yet she has found even greater fulfillment, in an art form that celebrates the eternal interdependence of nature and humanity.

She lives and works in southern California while balancing her time between the entertainment industry as a makeup and hair stylist, and the pursuit of her artistic vision.

Human / Nature - An Art Series by Claudia Humburg

Environmental Art - Ethos

Directing my creative energy to address ecological issues like climate change, extinction threats, and energy concerns.

The Vision

There was a time when the Human animal was one with the earth. But the evolution of the species Homo sapiens has seen a move away from direct contact with its intended eco-system. With the advent of Civilization, mankind has fallen further out of harmony with our natural environment.

Claudia Humburg's art series, Human / Nature, inspires us to reflect on the value of mankind's return to the womb of life. Her visual musings celebrate a return to that resonant harmony with nature that is our birthright. Utilizing her world-renowned body-art and make-up talents, she melodically merges the human form with exalted natural atmospheres, the effect of which, can be sublime.

"Organic, yet designed.
Natural, yet refined.
Perfect in style, a beauty sublime,
Seemingly random, yet always divine."
