Clara Lissens
Based in Antwerp
musician and multidisciplinary artist.
In her universe, empty shells blow out abstracted messages.
Attempting to shape the void.
Clara manages to merge pop and Dadaist approaches
in alluring songs.
Intuitively layered synths combined with repetitive vocals,
trigger feelings as joyous as they are gloomy.
She playfully deploys her identity, hoping to create a meeting place to the tones of experimental pop music.
