Artist Statement
I am a self-taught Danish visual artist working between abstraction and abstract figuration. My paintings are created intuitively, through layers of colour, texture and movement.
Rather than beginning with a fixed image, I allow each painting to develop during the process. Figures, fragments and quiet narratives often emerge unexpectedly from the surface. I am drawn to the tension between what is visible and what is only suggested — leaving space for the viewer’s own experience and interpretation.
My Story
My journey as a painter began in 2012, after I inherited my father’s easels, canvases, brushes and paints. For several years, the materials remained untouched in the attic. Then one day, searching for a new creative challenge, I brought them downstairs and began to paint.
I had no formal art education, but the process immediately felt natural to me. Through years of experimentation, curiosity and persistent work, I gradually developed my own artistic language and working method. Painting has been an essential part of my life ever since.
Process & Materials
I work intuitively and preferably on large canvases, where there is room for broad, physical movements. I build my paintings layer by layer, allowing earlier marks and colours to remain partly visible beneath the surface.
I work exclusively with acrylic paint, as well as charcoal, chalk and graphite, applied with large brushes and occasionally unconventional tools — including pheasant feathers.
My palette is often limited and dominated by dusty, muted and earthy tones. Forms and figures are rarely planned in advance. When something begins to emerge, I follow it and allow the painting to find its own direction.
Exhibitions & Collectors
I have exhibited in Denmark and internationally, including exhibitions in galleries in Helsinki and Oulu, Finland.
Over the years, my paintings have found homes with private collectors and clients, including returning collectors who continue to connect with my work. Knowing that a painting can become part of another person’s home and life remains one of the most meaningful aspects of my work.
