The artist
MY EXPRESSION
My expression is characterised by aesthetical texture with a touch of
something feminine. Up close, all my paintings have sophisticated and
curious details. Interesting and curious shapes are created with templates
and sprayed on, and three-dimensional effects add beautiful texture to the
painting. My figures are almost like a drawing in the painting and are half
transparent, creating a light and delicate expression.
MY MESSAGE
In my paintings, I want to express my views on society in my own way.
Sometimes the story is told through the figure StyleGirl, putting focus on
our culture and values. At times with a critical perspective, or at times
philosophical or merely descriptive. I relate to everyday life; little funny
reflections and important social issues. For example, what are we saying to
each other, what values are important to us?
MY FIGURE
The woman of today must be perfect in every respect. Profound, intelligent,
cool, beautiful, hot and funny. How can one be special and profound and
still perfect on the
outside? I call my recurrent figure StyleGirl. StyleGirl is a woman of the
fashion world. She is forever young and is always standing in a flattering
position, almost posing for the beholder. Legs and arms are long and
slender, and the body is in focus, not the face. StyleGirl is not an
individual, but part of the setting. She will always match the surroundings;
an interesting element of the stage. The technique is based on the fashion
sketch, depicting the models with a light and elegant expression.
CREATIVE WORK
I have painted my whole life. Through the years I have exhibited my work in
a number of art societies, and my customers include both companies and
private individuals. For the past year I have focused on art on a full-time
basis and have co-operated with several galleries. Today I am a professional
artist, and sometimes I also carry out illustration assignments and more
design-related assignments for customers who want an "artistic" expression.
EDUCATION
I am 33 and have a degree in Fashion Design and Illustration from the
Copenhagen Academy of Fashion Design. I have also trained as an illustrator
for several years with Lotte Müller, MA (Ed) in visual arts, who is the
author of various books on illustration and the body in visual image
processes.
Moreover, I have an MSc degree in Design and Communication Management from
Copenhagen Business School. With this educational background, I have worked
with marketing and branding for a number of years, and I am very interested
in what aspects of our society and culture that determine our perception of
a visual or written message.
