Elisabeth Leau is a multidisciplinary artist, architect, and scenographer whose practice intricately weaves architecture, performance, and visual arts. She studied Architecture at Central Saint Martins in London and further refined her artistic vocabulary through studies in acting and drama. She has completed courses in Scenography and Costume Design under Maria Chaniotaki and the renowned Method of Dionysus under Theodoros Terzopoulos deepening her exploration of the physical and metaphysical dimensions of performance.

Leau founded her own design studio, specializing in sculptural and conceptual objects that bridge art and spatial design. In the realm of theater, she has contributed as a scenographer and costume designer. Notably, she did the scenography for the award-winning performance  "An Ice Thing to Say", shown at Prague Quadrennial and Athens-Epidaurus Festival, amongst numerous other festivals.  Employing ephemeral materials such as ice, alongside live music and movement, to confront themes of environmental fragility and human existence. Her scenographic and costume work on this project exemplifies her ability to dissolve boundaries between visual arts and the performative act.

Leau’s independent visual art practice explores mythology, psychology, and materiality. Her solo exhibition "IN BETWEEN ETHER" at Spyros Loverdos Foundation in Kifisia presented ethereal sculptures and paintings that explore the interplay between the conscious and unconscious, the physical and the intangible. The works, referred to as "Plasmata," embody a dialogue between fragility and strength, inviting viewers into a contemplative space.

Described as fresh, eccentric, and visionary, Elisabeth Leau’s work transcends disciplinary borders, offering contemplative meditations on existence, myth, and the subconscious. Her paintings and sculptures are held in private collections, and her practice continues to develop across multiple disciplines. Her work is often noted for its conceptual depth, distinctive aesthetic, and commitment to experimental forms.
