About the Artist

Elke Silvia Krystufek is a prominent Austrian artist whose multidisciplinary practice is characterized by its provocative, raw, and often autobiographical nature. Working across painting, photography, video, and performance, Krystufek fearlessly explores themes of gender, sexuality, the body, and identity. Her art is distinguished by its unflinching honesty and a visceral directness, often confronting taboos and societal expectations with a blend of vulnerability and aggression. Krystufek’s work challenges viewers to engage with uncomfortable truths about human experience, asserting a powerful feminist voice that dissects self-perception, desire, and the politics of representation.
