Rebekka Steiger
Biography
1993 born in Zurich, Switzerland
lives and works between Lucerne, Switzerland and Beijing, China
2016 BA (honours) in Fine Arts, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art, Lucerne, Switzerland
Rebekka Steiger is a Swiss artist whose vividly coloured works move fluidly between abstraction and figuration. Working across oil, acrylic ink, and tempera, she creates psychologically charged compositions in which animals, landscapes, and human figures emerge and dissolve within dynamic fields of colour, movement, and gesture.
