Elfrink received his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem and Eindhoven and worked in Babberich, Elten, Nuenen, and, since 1953, in Ubbergen. In addition, he worked in Nijmegen, where he had a studio in the bridgehead of the Nijmegen Railway Bridge and taught at the Vrije Academie Nijmegen. He also worked just across the border of the Ooijpolder in Germany at a farm in Mehr. His work is primarily inspired by the surroundings of the Rijk van Nijmegen and is exhibited in Museum Het Valkhof, among other places. In 1988, he received the Charlemagne Prize. Elfrink was struck by a vehicle on May 25, 2014, while crossing Provincial Road 325 near Beek on his bicycle. He died from the consequences of this on May 31 in a Nijmegen hospital.
