Germany
Culture & Art Ambassador
Elisa Klinkenberg is a Berlin-based artist.
Until 2011, she was a professional tennis player; after an injury, she turned to art.
As a self-taught artist, she initially created watercolours and later established a studio by Lake Müggelsee.
Her works are characterised by abstract colour gradients, clear statements, and organic forms. She addresses socially relevant topics such as sustainability, diversity, and empowerment.
The most important element of her artistic work is words and typography.
Her art has been exhibited in numerous shows. She also gained recognition through her design campaigns with international brands such as USM Haller, Opel, Mustang, and Copenhagen Studios.
Her art is a powerful fusion of personal history, social engagement, and profound word art.
Elisa Klinkenberg combines artistic expression with a deep awareness of social responsibility – today representing a strong connection between art, sustainability, and personal development.

"As an artist, I am looking forward to Rhine-Ruhr 2025 because here, sport and art merge – both require discipline and passion, and they bring people together across borders."
