As an artist I’m deeply engaged with the themes of presence and human connection. In my work, I explore how presence shapes our ability to connect with ourselves and, by extension, with others.

I aim for my sculptures to be more than just objects but vessels of energy, infused with a life force that evokes a sense of familiarity and recognition beyond language. With forms that insists on an engagement with the present moment.

My entire artistic process is grounded in playfulness, whether I’m working with shapes, colors, or textures, I aim to create works that evoke a sensory response. By relinquishing control and letting intuition, play, and enthusiasm guide me, I uncover unexpected paths that go beyond my conscious imagination.

I experiment with a variety of materials and techniques, attempting to create a dynamic interplay between the organic and the unpredictable, aiming to create sensory experiences that invite viewers into a state of presence.

A PLAYFUL APPROACH

VISUAL ARTIST FROM AARHUS ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS

I completed a four-year education as a Visual Artist at Aarhus Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in sculpture for three of those years, and graduated in June 2024.

Prior to this, I spent several years training croquis drawing under the guidance of artist Adam Gabriel, and have also taken various courses in ceramics, drawing, and painting.

In 2020, I made the decision to leave my full-time job to dedicate myself to my studies at Aarhus Academy of Fine Arts and pursue my passion for art.

My work spans a range of materials and techniques, with a particular emphasis on sculpture, drawing, and graphic arts.

KRAKAMARKEN

I am a member of the board of KRAKAMARKEN, a public space dedicated to nature-related art and deep engagement with nature.

Krakamarken was originally established by the Randers Municipality in 1992 on a 27-hectare area near Brusgård, initiated by artist Jørn Rønnau.

It was Denmark's first nature sculpture park, where artists used natural materials like soil, stone, wood, water, and plants to create site-specific works.

After closing in 1999, the park was revitalized in 2022 by the newly formed Krakamarken Association. The park continues to be a living experiment with art shaped by nature's forces, embracing growth, decay, and the passage of time.
