Elif Sezen (b. Melbourne, 1981) is a multidisciplinary artist, writer/poet. She holds a PhD in Fine Art from Monash University and lives and works in Melbourne. Her current projects focus on multiple series of landscapes with abstract, surreal, ethereal and psychedelic impressions. Her broader multidisciplinary art practice engages with interwoven themes of trauma, grief, displacement, homecoming, reintegration, love and transcendence. She reconceptualises and poeticises memory traces and existential states through diverse media including painting, sculpture, photography, digital art and poetry-based installations. She experiments in creating artistic expressions that are imaginative and spiritual, yet also grounded in contemporary thought, exploring the universality of the human experience.

Sezen’s work is held in private collections, and she has exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent solo show at Five Walls (2025); and group shows at The Museum of Australian Photography - MAPh (2025), The Museum of Art and Culture Yapang (MAC Yapang Art Prize 2025), Yarra Sculpture Gallery (2025), Project8 Gallery (2024), The National Portrait Gallery Canberra (Darling Portrait Prize 2024), CICA Museum Korea (2024) and the Metro Tunnel Creative Program (2023–2024).
