Bronni Krieger is an artist located in Naarm (Melbourne). Her works predominantly involve animal and human subjects together in a style of surrealism that evokes a sense of vulnerability and emotion.
Whilst paying tribute to Australia’s native flora and fauna, her work often raises questions about the relationship between these species and humankind itself. Her use of symbolism and the depiction of the animal-human bond, highlight topical issues including deforestation, natural disasters and the ongoing climate crisis. Bronni’s passion is tangible as she uses her work to provide a voice to those without one and as a platform to document our native wildlife at risk of becoming extinct.
