BAAM

Elisabeth Bukenberger (b. 1998) is a German figurative artist, who recently completed her studies at the Royal College of Art in London. Her process-led practice, serving as a method to release judgement and lean into an intuitive mode of inquiry, spans painting, drawing, print-making, sculpture and photography. She is now based in Berlin.

Painting remains her primary medium of expression, offering freedom and flexibility to navigate her experiences and emotions in life. Her explorations centred on light and shadow, capturing fleeting moments of overlooked beauty within oil paintings, inspired her to begin a discourse with her own personal shadows. Her practice is deeply engrained in psychology, using stylistic elements such as light, shadow and reflection to question themes of identity, perception and womanhood.
