Artwork

Simple beautiful moments of everyday life is what makes me take either a pen or a brush and start creating!

Over time I developed a style, which is simple, yet quickly captivating the precious sparks of inspiration. Creating helps me to stop and look around in awe and with appreciation for nature and good moments in life. Positive impressions are usually quicker to flee our minds. My creative mission is to capture them so they don’t get lost, spread the joy and inspire to find the smile inside you and not let it go.

Sluzy from Sluseholmen

Sluzy is a local seal, which keeps coming back nearby my home in South Copenhagen

Each time I walk my dog, I look around and search for Sluzy. It’s so nice to see her resting on the pier or diving in water to catch a fish.

Mini Skiers

What to do when you are on the skin lift going slowly up and waiting for your turn to go down the mountain? Observe others ski!

This is how this project was born. Every day for 7 days, I was sketching skiers in my sketchbook during my winter holidays in Slovenia/Italy.

vinjerac

Blissfull stories from Croatia

Vinjerac stole our hearts from the first moment. It’s the panoramic walk along the coast overlooking both Mala Paklenica (small) and Velika Paklenica (big). Herds of cats patrolling the streets, keeping rodents away. Buildings made of stones, some look really old and historic. Dog Buba, who knows everyone in the village and makes new friends everyday.

An ongoing series of animal portraits in response to the rapidly growing need of a sustainable approach.  The idea behind the catchy colourful art with an ironic humour was ti inspire to undertake more and more eco-concious actions without the element of scare and guilt.

My troll is resting in the shade of the mountains, holding tight to his camera – a gift from a traveller he met on his way. The sun is going to wake him up any minute now. Can you imagine where he might go?

Mountain Troll

When I was painting this piece, I spoke to somebody who believed in mountain trolls. I liked that idea. My troll is resting in the shade of the mountains. He is holding tight to a camera – a gift from a traveler he met on his way. The sun is going to wake him up any minute now. I wonder where he will go…

CyclistsOfCopenhagen 1200

Cyclists of Copenhagen

Since I’ve moved to Copenhagen, I am really enjoying the city and the easiness to cycle anywhere I want. I love it so much, I have even bought waterproof pants to cycle in the rain! So this illustration is inspired by cyclists of Copenhagen, who seem to transport anything and anyone on their bikes.
