Rebekka Steiger (1993) is a Swiss painter whose large-scale works merge abstraction and figuration in vibrant, emotionally charged compositions. Depicting animals, landscapes, and mythological figures, her paintings explore instinct, transformation, and the subconscious. Influenced by residencies in Beijing and Ho Chi Minh City, she integrates East Asian aesthetics into her practice. Steiger has exhibited widely in Europe and Asia, with works in private and institutional collections. Her latest institutional show took place at Kunstmuseum Thun in Switzerland.
