Claudia Hakim holds a bachelor in Textile Design at the 
Universidad de los Andes, and studied ceramics and sculpture at Oxford College.
Repetition and modularity have accompanied her work, moving along the line between design and art, seeking to give new life to steel offcuts from the automotive industry through her sculptures.
Claudia Hakim's career as an artist began three decades ago working with textile fibers, and since 1998 she has focused on working with industrial waste. She has exhibited in Miami, New Delhi, Maracaibo, Cuenca, Bogota, and Medellin. She has also played an important role as a cultural promoter, founding and directing NC-Arte from 2011 to the present, as well as directing MAMBO between 2016 and 2024.
