Elisa Breyer (*1995 in Berlin) is an artist specializing in figurative oil painting. Breyer studied at the Bauhaus University Weimar and the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. Residencies in Italy, Portugal, and Leipzig have further shaped her artistic perspective. Today, she lives and works in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Her work focuses on what pop culture reflects about concepts of femininity, care, and a late-stage capitalist society.
