Statement
I am a Danish artist whose practice moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, textiles, and performance. Rooted in a rural upbringing and shaped by a lifelong fascination with myth, history, and narrative inheritance, my work orbits the body — its symbolic weight, its vulnerabilities, and its capacity to carry stories across time. Living in Rome has deepened this orientation, placing my contemporary figurative language in direct dialogue with the Renaissance’s grand visual mythologies and its insistence on human complexity.
Oil painting remains the core of my practice, yet my process unfolds across multiple materials: clay, natural fibres, pigments, and gestures that belong as much to performance as to craft. I move between them intuitively, allowing form and medium to shift in response to the emotional and narrative currents I work with. Water, corporeal presence, and mythic resonance recur as motifs — not as symbols to decode, but as sites where inner life, memory, and cultural imagination converge.
My primary source of inspiration is my fellow humans. The work begins in conversation — in the fragile, generous spaces where people reveal themselves, question themselves, and allow their stories to ripple outward. These exchanges shape my process as much as any sketch or sculptural study. Creation becomes a form of listening, a way of tracing the subtle thresholds between vulnerability and agency, tenderness and critique.
At the conceptual heart of my practice is the desire to make the viewer feel seen: to generate encounters in which recognition becomes transformative. I aim to create spaces where introspection is possible, where emotional honesty can be met with dignity, and where the political emerges through the personal — through bodies, relationships, mythologies, and the stories we inherit or resist.
My overarching goal is to contribute, however subtly, to a cultural movement toward empathy, courage, and collective self-reflection. In a fractured moment, I seek to create work that functions as both mirror and invitation — an aesthetic and emotional space where transformation is not merely represented but actively enacted.
