Biography

“My name, Cosima (besides being derived from the names of Saints’ Cosmos and Damian, early Christian Church representatives of altruistic healing and holiness) comes from the word Cosmos, meaning the universe, the root of the word, Cosmopolitan; someone at home in the universe, universally at home wherever they may be. It suits me being a German born American living in Egypt for quite a while. I AM home...In all these places.”

Cosima has lived the union of cultural roots on three continents including German parents that immigrated to America in her early childhood, incorporating modern Egyptian life through marriage and motherhood that led her to live in Egypt for the past 15 years. During most of that she has been on her own studying, absorbing and reintegrating her ancient European family roots that are rich in the creative arts to her present home soil of Egypt.

She has exhibited and attended workshops in the Middle East and in Europe (Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Germany, France, Switzerland, Lithuania, and Ireland) and offers private and group classes while she continues to develop pieces large and small by commission as well as her numerous series of works on paper and also paintings on canvas.
