Elise Lufting (b. 1986, Oldenzaal) is a multidisciplinary artist and art historian based in Amsterdam. With a background in international finance and a Master’s in Arts & Culture, specialisation Modern and Contemporary Art History, her work explores the intersection of structure and emotion, often through painting, sculpture, and mixed media.

Her practice draws on personal heritage, societal systems, and the layered nature of identity. Elise is currently part of the Fine Arts - Amalgam Programme - at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, where she develops her studio work alongside her professional role in finance.

She regularly visits exhibitions and shares reflections on art, aiming to connect different audiences to contemporary artistic practice.
