Camilla Nicklaus-Maurer

Camilla Nicklaus-Maurer was born at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, where she still lives and works. Since graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich where she studied sculpture, she is working on her dissertation about olfactory art. Nicklaus-Maurer has been using smells, often side-specific and derived from nature, in her practice for over a decade. She has exhibited extensively throughout Germany and internationally, including her solo exhibition Dig in! Scent and Art at the KVD gallery in Dachau in 2016.
