Elli Altenberger

Elli Altenberger is a multidisciplinary artist from Austria whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and conceptual installation. Born and raised in Vienna, Altenberger developed an early appreciation for both the rich visual traditions of her homeland and the avant-garde tendencies that shaped Central European art. She studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she honed her technical skills and explored experimental media under the mentorship of renowned contemporary artists.

Altenberger’s work is characterized by an emotive use of color and texture, often addressing themes of memory, transformation, and the interconnectedness of the natural and built environments. Her installations invite viewers to navigate immersive spaces that blur the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Altenberger has exhibited widely in Austria and throughout Europe, including solo exhibitions in Vienna, Berlin, and Zurich.

Her practice is informed by ongoing research into ecological systems and social histories, which she interweaves into both her artistic production and collaborative community projects. Recognized for her innovative approach and lyrical visual language, Elli Altenberger continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art from her studio in Vienna.
