Life

Susanne Klein was born as the daughter of the painter Eitel Klein and his wife Barbara Klein in Nuremberg. In 1974 she began her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg , which she passed in 1979 with the state examination in art education . In 1981 to 1986, the study followed Liberal Arts at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg . Since 1988 she has been working as a visual artist.

Klein was initially active in painting, photography and creating videos. Objects, fabric works and sculptures were created later. Her work mainly focused on people with their different facets.
