Claudia Mayer-Mallenau was born and raised in Bregenz. Inspired by the work of her grandfather Waldemar Güttner, a tyrolean painter of classical modernism, she began drawing at an early age and has been working intensively with the medium of painting since 2007.
Claudia Mayer-Mallenau started as an autodidact, learning through a variety of workshops such as portrait painting with Xenia Hausner, hyperrealism, lithography, figure drawing, anatomy with Glenn Vilppu and much more.
In 2021 Claudia finally decided to study classical realism in Florence as a full term student at Angel Academy and changed in 2022 to Charles Cecil Studios to focus on life-size, sight-size portrait painting for another two years.

At the moment Claudia Mayer-Mallenau lives and works in Vienna and Florence.

Claudia loves travelling abroad, curious to discover the multiple facets of human reality. The diversity of viewpoints on reality is the source of her artistic inspiration. In her works, mostly collages, she takes us on a journey away from the ostensible and obvious, towards an additional emotional depth in her unique style, exploring the borders of different realities.
