The German-Italian artist works intensively with masks and costumes from different cultures. Her research produced countless overlaps of otherwise disconnected elements of traditional clothing.
This led to the creation of a series that joins different world cultures in one human being. The exotic, the unfamiliar and the familiar are merged to evoke affinity and dialogue. Along the lines of „all equal“ – a relevant political and at the same time emotional topic.
It is important that the subject does not represent a flattened image or a parody of cultures but that it has a mystical and detached quality to induce the feeling of unease that we experience when facing the unknown.
Tanja Hirschfeld’s elaborate technique of layered glazes creates powerful oil paintings of feminine figures that embody both, strength and sensuality. She transforms her heroines into majestic creatures through the boldness of their almost armour-like costumes.

Through the use of various artistic techniques and symbolic languages from different cultures, her works bridge the gap between people of different backgrounds. She is actively involved in the fields of Fair Fashion Design, graphic design, and exhibition curation, intersecting her wide range of activities to merge her artistic vision with a commitment to social justice. She is the founder of the artist collective „Die Villa,“ which has been engaging performatively with the role of women in society since 2018. In 2021, she exhibited with the collective at the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne on the theme „Feminine – The Power of Women in Art and Society“ and presented her tree installation „m!ss!ng“ on the lawn of the Art Museum „Haus der Kunst“ in Munich. In 2023, she showed her textile work at the group exhibition „Hey, Alter! Museum und Generationen“ at the Pinakothek der Moderne. Her works have been exhibited in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the USA and are held in private collections worldwide.
