Bianca Tschaikner (born 1985) is a visual artist based in Dornbirn, Austria. 

She studied Media Design at the University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg in Austria and in Chile, printmaking at the International School of Graphic Arts in Florence, Italy, and at the International Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Fundación CIEC) in Betanzos, Spain, and has a Master’s degree in illustration from the University of Fine Arts Macerata, Italy (2017).

Her practice exists at the intersection of drawing, printmaking, ceramics, writing, and bookmaking. Working in a wide range of media, her work process always involves an experimental and intuitive approach.

Her art projects investigate narratives of different places, often working in the context of artist residencies and research journeys to countries such as India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Malta, Italy, Jordan, and Spain, immersing herself into different places for extended periods of time in the search of stories, images and atmospheres.

Exploring themes of micro-history, cultural heritage, mythology, matriarchy and stories of everyday life, her work often involves an anthropological approach: fueled by a deep curiosity about human existence, her artistic practice has a strong focus on visual storytelling. 

She’s been invited as an artist in residency by institutions such as Fundación Miró and Villa Lena Art Foundation and has showcased her work in various solo and group exhibitions at art institutions, galleries and museums throughout the world, such as the MAC Museum of Contemporary Art A Coruña, BilbaoArte in Spain, and the Austrian Cultural Forum in New Delhi and Belgrade. Her art has been featured in VICE magazine, HuffPost, Harper’s Bazaar India and the Guardian.
