About the artist: Trained as a biology laboratory assistant, Claudia Richter completed her training as a successful cover artist specialising in book concept art with Mechthild Lobisch at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.
Soon afterwards, she opened her own ‘Studio for Book Art and Design’ in Halle. She developed her own style, which is strongly influenced by her training and is based on a mixture of geometric rigour and subtle poetry. Each cover is a successful one-off of rare delicate elegance, a kind of ‘homage’ to beauty. And all with perfect craftsmanship!
