About
Eliza Siegler is a French-American artist born in New York City. She studied Fine Arts at Parsons in Paris, and at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York then continued to focus on painting and 3D object making as a student at the Rietveld Academie in the Netherlands. At the l'École d'Art d'Avignon Eliza created murals, painted, and made large-scale installations. She graduated with highest honors and obtained her DNSEP avec les félicitations du jury in 1997. The following year in 1998 she received a grant from the French Ministry of Culture. Eliza has taught Art, contemporary French Cultural Studies, and foreign languages in France and the United States. She has been traveling and exhibiting her mixed-media paintings internationally since 1988. Between 2020 and 2025, Eliza created a series of paintings exploring the perception of color in context and the accumulation of markings over time.
Artist Statement
A sense of spaciousness, and attention to detail were important to me; this is why I chose painting as my primary medium complemented by my regular practice of working with music, photography, and drawing. Rooted in global art history, multicultural experiences and the rhythm of sunrise, heartbeats, waves, and the cycle of seasons, my artistic approach rests on this fundamental natural context and the specific characteristics of each unique color and brushstroke.
