Elisa Seitzinger lives in Turin, where she works as an illustrator, visual artist, and professor of morphology and image dynamics at the Istituto Europeo di Design.
She studied drawing and art history in Florence, Atlanta, Nice, and London.
Her artistic approach is inspired by the stylistic codes of classical art, sacred and courtly medieval art, primitive painting, Russian icons, and Byzantine mosaics. Her work always begins with ink drawing, pursuing a flat, static composition with strong symbolic power.
Winner of the 2018 Illustri Award in the Design category and a finalist at the 2019 Illustri Festival, she has exhibited at the Museum of Applied Arts Today in Turin, Le Dictateur within Futurdome in Milan, MUSES in Savigliano, Biblioteca Oriani in Ravenna, Auditorium Parco della Musica and Farnesina in Rome, Studio 59 in London, and Galleria NOI in Paris. She has also been a guest at several visual arts festivals, including Italianism, Graphic Days®, Inchiostro Festival, and Pawchewgo.
She has collaborated with La Repubblica, L’Espresso, Rolling Stone, RAI, BBC, National Geographic, Warner Music Group, Taschen, Fandango, Codice Edizioni, Sabat Magazine, Favini, 1724 Tonic Water, Etro, and KristinaT.
