Olafur Eliasson is a highly regarded Icelandic-Danish artist known for his sculptural and large-scale installation art that incorporates elemental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to craft immersive experiences for audiences. He established Studio Olafur Eliasson in Berlin in 1995 and Studio Other Spaces in 2014 in collaboration with architect Sebastian Behmann. Eliasson’s notable projects include representing Denmark at the 50th Venice Biennale, developing The Weather Project at Tate Modern, and creating public installations like Green River and The New York City Waterfalls. His work often intersects art and science, as seen in pieces like the Breakthrough Prize trophy, and he has also taught at various educational institutions.
