Caroline Elisabeth Schmit is a multidisciplinary artist and art teacher living and working in Luxembourg. Her work often addresses different forms of life and the ways in which they come into contact with one another. How do we encounter animals, plants, fungi, and other non-human beings? Through a practice that includes drawing, printmaking, sculpture, video, and installation, she explores connections between different “ecosystems” that are often imperceptible within our society.
Being interested in collective and individual resilience, the artist's work engages with themes of closeness and reconciliation towards nature in a broarder sense. ENgaging with the writings of Donna Haraway, Peter Wohlleben and T.J. Demos, she seeks links between the human and non-human, looking for microscopic and macroscopic connections within ecosystems as well as entire societies. In this way, the artist develops a visual language that emphasizes the symbiotic coexistence of different living forms that affect - and even support - one another. Inspired by many fields such as the ambivalence of the Anthropocene narrative and 19th century botanical illustrations, she tries to create links between human and vegetal traces as well as physical and psychological ones.
Caroline Elisabeth has a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Amiens (FR, 2018) and a master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Strasbourg (FR, 2021). She has taken part in several exhibitions in Luxembourg, notably at the Biennale for Young Artists and Art Students in Vianden (2019, 2021), at CAPE in Ettelbruck (2023) and the KonschTour in Vianden (2025). At festivals such as the Last Summer Dance, Erpeldingen (2019), she has presented interactive works with an ecological focus. During the 2021 European Heritage Days, she held her first solo exhibition in Lasauvage, ‘Les Traces de la Terre Rouge’. Here, the artist explored past and present connections with the luxembourgish "Minett" region in southern Luxembourg, whose history is deeply marked by the extraction of iron ore for the steel industry. Internationally, she participated among others in a collective exhibition at the Syndicat Potentiel (2021) and Palais Universitaire (2022) in Strasbourg, France. Since 2022, she has been an artist-in-residence at Hariko Ettelbruck, where she gives creative workshops whilst working in her studio. Since 2026, she is a member of AAPL, Association des Artistes Plasticiens du Luxembourg.
