About the Artist
I am a Copenhagen-based artist, active since 2024. I specialize in classical portraiture, but also dabble with abstract art occasionally. I have a Master's degree in Mathematics, and I am a graduate of the Barcelona Academy of Art.
My work is rooted in the European painting tradition, where texture and light are the visual protagonists. I have studied the practical principles of classical painting and apply them to both my figurative and abstract works. A goal of mine is for my paintings to convey a sense of mystery, of material maturity, and of subversion of order:
- Mystery: I want to invoke curiosity through mystery. Curiosity was what brought me to mathematics. I had to know what truth there was in these strange, cryptic symbols. Similarly, I want my paintings to convey this promise of meaning and truth, without ever surrendering it completely.
- Material maturity: I see great beauty in a well-aged whiskey, a ripe cheese, or a piece of mahogany. They are the result of aging, and age makes them exquisitely unique and complex. I want my paintings to give the same profound sense of age and maturity.
- Subversion of order: I have experienced order every day during my time studying mathematics. But what I have found interests me the most is when order slightly fails. When a rule has a tiny exception, a pattern has a slight mistake, or a statement of fact has a quiet but. I try to imbue my paintings with the sense of being almost right, but not quite. Order with the seed of chaos.
