Elisa Breyer⎮Podcast

Today's guest is the painter Elisa Breyer. Elisa was born in Berlin in 1995 and studied visual communication at the Bauhaus University in Weimar and at Chung-An University in South Korea's capital Seoul. Since 2021 she has been studying painting in Karin Kneffel's class at the Munich Art Academy. Elisa is one of the most sought-after artists of her generation. In her pastel-coloured paintings, she captures the curiosities of human existence in the form of everyday objects: stockings on a washing line, egg slicers, hair ties and a hot water bottle to help with menstrual cramps. "Although I paint in a figurative sense," says Elisa, "I don't paint what I see, but what I feel."

We find out what that means in this episode...
