Elijah Burgher

Elijah Burgher is an American artist known for his intricate, occult-inspired drawings and paintings. He was born in 1978 in Kingston, New York, and currently lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Burgher's work often features intricate geometric patterns, symbols, and sigils, drawing on a range of esoteric and spiritual traditions, including tantra, alchemy, and queer magic.
