Born in Leipzig, Oskar Rink studied fashion design and illustration at l'EcoleSupérieure des Arts et techniques de la Mode in Munich and received a Master's Degree from the Sotheby's Institute of Art, Contemporary Art Department in London (UK). Ever since childhood, she has had intensive exchanges with her father, Arno Rink, on the artistic creative process around painting, form and colour. After various periods of residence in England, Norway, Cuba and the US, the artist now lives and works between Leipzig and Lisbon.
