Elsa Klever

Elsa Klever was born in Berlin in 1985.
Inspired and influenced by music, coffee, oddities, people’s dreams and her own visions, the colours of autumn and little furry animals, she creates her own small (illustrated) worlds. Most of them playful and colourful, with just a hint of weirdness.
Throughout her studies of Illustration at HAW Hamburg (University of applied sciences, Hamburg/Germany) and HSLU Luzern (Switzerland) she developed her own visual language and style using only highly pigmented watercolours.
Elsa has worked for several magazines and corporations and has participated in various international group exhibitions, for example in Bologna, Tokyo, Luzern and Hamburg.
She is currently living in Hamburg and working as a freelance illustrator.
