My Farewell Hugely Hyggelig Copenhagen

Huge ‘hyggeligness’ of Copenhagen documented in over 250 ink sketches drawn by an expat

Citymarks from each of Copenhagen districts and stories about them you might not know

Must see tourist attractions and awesome places off the beaten path

The story behind my project

What’s so special about Copenhagen? Well, I decided to get to the bottom of this and sent myself on a quest to document the city in sketches. This collection of ink drawings is me trying to showcase the essence of Copenhagen.

Each of these sketches adds up to a huge appreciation that I have for being able to live here for the past 5 years. It’s also my way of saying goodbye to this city, as I am sadly leaving next summer.

So last summer I decided to document as much as possible and take Copenhagen with me in my sketchbook. Luckily summer was long and I was out sketching through August to the end of September.

Favourite places, people, dogs, traditions, food, danish quirks – all of this created one big messy bundle of drawings and information, which I organised and developed into this exhibition – ‘My Farewell Hugely Hyggelig Copenhagen Project’.

Danish traditions and local quirks that will make you smile

People and animals that do not realise that became a part of my project…thank you

Chosen sketches from the poster turned into delicate watercolours and vibrant acrylics. I wouldn’t be myself, if I didn’t add colour to this collection.
