Claudia Sarnthein

Claudia Sarnthein’s drawings focus on the human mouth as a subject, often leaving the rest of the face blank. In Untitled (Mouth) from 2005, she zooms in on lips, teeth, and shadows to explore how a small detail can carry so much expression. Her work sits outside any obvious movement, letting the isolated gesture speak for itself. Want to see another close-up study? Tap Untitled (Mouth) to keep looking.
