Elif Sezen (b. Melbourne, 1981) is an Australian-Turkish multidisciplinary artist, writer/poet. She holds a PhD in Fine Art from Monash University. For over a decade, Elif has been investigating possibilities of reconceptualising and poeticising memory traces, existential states and a sense of place through poetry-based installations, photographic and sculptural works, paintings and mixed-media landscapes/mindscapes. Her landscapes explore otherworldly atmospheres with abstract, surreal, ethereal, celestial and psychedelic impressions. Her broader multidisciplinary art practice engages with interwoven themes of displacement, trauma, grief, loss, reintegration, homecoming, love, transcendence, alternate worlds/spaces and multifaceted landscapes through diverse media.
Elif’s works are held in private collections and are exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent solo show at SOL Gallery (2026), Five Walls (2025); and selected group shows at Justin Art House Museum - JAHM (Recent acquisitions display, 2026), Fox Yard Studio - UK (2026), Five Walls (2026), The Museum of Australian Photography - MAPh (LOOK! Prize, 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).
