Six

Claudia Six holding a large black-and-white soft sculpture with a drawn face — a quiet moment of connection

Portrait of artist Claudia Six with two large creature masks — part costume, part soft sculpture


In a small Austrian town, surrounded by forests and mountains, I grew up as the only child in the neighborhood.
My companions were the unseen and the unusual — frogs glinting in the undergrowth, whispers in the cellar, the quiet strangeness of things not easily named.



The World I Create


Since then, I have been building spaces where the invisible becomes visible.
Worlds where creatures, stories, and hidden places slip through — and where you are always welcome to visit, to linger, to belong.

The Work I Do


Through sculpture, performance, installation, and drawing, I give form to what lives between dream and waking life — offering glimpses into the worlds just beyond our own.
