Studio Notes

Some drawings begin with a place that feels familiar, even if it isn’t. A kitchen late in the afternoon. The light already turning softer. Someone standing at the counter with their back to the room. The kind of scene that doesn’t announce itself but stays somewhere in memory. I started sketching this interior drawing after noticing how certain rooms return to mind at odd times. A window above the sink. A small lamp on the table. The quiet order of objects that have been in t

It’s still green, mostly. But not the same green as in July. There’s a dryness in the air now — not cold, just sharper. You start noticing the weight of things. Heavier shoes on the stairs. A neighbor dragging their balcony chair inside. The light is lower in the afternoon and I’ve started drinking Darjeeling again — the one from Hans & Grete - Kaffe og Te in the black tin with the traditional Chinese motif. It tastes better in this kind of weather. Yesterday I re-organized

I never consciously developed an illustration style. It’s something that has always been there. As a teenager, I drew constantly in notebooks during school breaks — small scenes, people sitting by windows, trees after rain, the corner of a room. At the time I didn’t think of it as vintage or nostalgic. I was simply drawing what felt familiar. Looking back, I can see how much of that instinct came from the things around me. Old Danish books on our shelves. The restrained line

A local Artist's Guide Copenhagen is often described through its best-known landmarks — design museums, famous restaurants, historic squares. But much of the city’s creative atmosphere lives in smaller places that rarely appear in guidebooks. As someone who lives and works here, I’ve found that many of the most inspiring corners of the city are the ones you discover almost by accident: a gallery on a side street, a cemetery path lined with old trees, a café where people sit f

There’s a particular kind of stillness to summer mornings in Copenhagen. The city doesn’t rush. Light arrives slowly — pale at first, then warmer — and the streets take their time filling with movement. Before most of the city wakes, the air feels different. You notice small things more clearly: the sound of cyclists passing on quiet streets, the movement of leaves in the early breeze, the way light settles on rooftops and window frames. These are the hours I like best. Often
