= Elisabeth Masé = Elisabeth Masé (1959-present) is a Swiss artist and writer whose work seeks to foster intercultural dialogue.

Life and Work
Elisabeth Masé was born in Basel and studied from 1979 to 1983 at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst (University of Design and Art). She worked at the university as a lecturer from 1984 to 1997 and at the Oslo Academy of the Arts in 1994. She currently lives and works in Berlin

Working together with the politically independent art group Artists Unlimited, Masé organized an art festival in Bielefeld in 1999 in support of children disabled during the war in Kosovo. Collaborating with architects, she has realized many art projects in public spaces. She has also published many books and graphic editions, including short stories, lyrics, and a novella.

Masé has received numerous awards, including the "Swiss Award" and the "Manor Art Prize." Her work deals with the awareness of the body and the associative power of the unconscious. In the course of her artistic development, she has explored these topics in many different stylistic and technical forms. Her abstract and narrative figural phases alike are characterized by dreams and trauma, vulnerability and forelornness, as well as sarcasm and humor. Masé often connects the classic portrait genre with complex, distressing images.
