What my art isabout:
This website is an extension of my artistic practice, focused on how art functions within interior spaces.
Overall, this platform brings together handcrafted art, spatial thinking, and contemporary design processes to make art easier to imagine, select, and live with.
The Artist : Ziza Klex
I’m Ziza Klex, an artist born and raised in Berlin, now based in France.
I grew up in a family where creating was part of everyday life, so making things always felt natural to me. My work still starts from this place: observing, collecting, testing, and turning thoughts or little details into images.
I draw inspiration from everyday life: the little things we overlook, take for granted, and label as normal. I put them in the spotlight, overthink their meaning, and illustrate what we forget to see or need to question again. Some days it’s a thought I caught from a book, some days it’s a general idea about life, and on other days it’s a detail on a leaf in my garden or an architectural feature.
I create art because I don’t know how to exist without it.
I need images around me that remind me of beauty, meaning, and hope when the world feels heavy or painful.
Art allows me to say things I cannot compress into ordinary language — to turn long thoughts, emotions, and questions into a single image.
Being self-taught in art shaped the way I work. I learned by breaking the creative process into simple, repeatable steps, testing materials, and finding my own way through practice rather than following one fixed path.
Before focusing fully on my own art, I spent over 10 years teaching and working with people to develop clear, practical ways of learning and doing. I also worked for several years in an art supply store, where I had the chance to exchange with artists of very different levels about their techniques, materials and work practices, while teaching workshops in parallel.
I make posters as an art form, not as simple reproductions. I work within a tradition where images are made to live in both public and private spaces. My work is a mix of hand-made illustration, photography, and digital design, and this format is where those elements meet, and where I get all the creative freedom I need.
It’s a powerful medium for expression: to make a statement, share an opinion, and express who we are through the homes we carefully decorate with our beliefs.
I love the idea of a red thread: something that connects the inside experience and the outside world. It connects homes to each other - strangers choosing the same print for their walls - creating bubbles of meaning, while also connecting me to the world.
I imagine that one day one of my posters will be intimately tied to nostalgic memories of a living room or a kitchen - a place where life happened.
As an artist passionate about both visual creation and interior design, I explore the dialogue between art and space through mywork.
That is why on my blog, I share insights and inspiration on how and why art can shape the atmosphere of a home, a city, a world.
Building on this passion, my brand offers a curated collection of art prints - each piece designed to bring a little spark of expression to your interior.
