Elísabet Olka is an Icelandic artist based in Copenhagen. She works across various media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, plaster, and clay. Her practice blends diverse techniques and materials to create abstract compositions that are both poetic and tactile.
In her recent work, Elísabet creates small ceramic tiles, each individually painted and assembled into a cohesive whole—a visual montage where fragments merge to form new narratives. Her drawings and paintings often depict human figures and emotional states, delving into inner journeys, inherited stories, and intergenerational experiences.
In addition, she producers dreamlike abstract drawings that aim to capture fleeting sensory impressions, moments suspended between memory and emotion.
