Welcome!
Here I present a selection of my works through the years I have been working as an artist.
Don't forget to check out the blog which i call Randomness for news and information about the projects I am working on right now.
I will be offering a summer class at Aarhus Kunst Akademiet from June 25th to June 27th, featuring three days of intensive printmaking. During this workshop, we will focus on artistic development, providing personalized one-on-one feedback to help each participant push the boundaries of their comfort zone
"For the Brande Biennale, I created 'De Faldne,' a dramatic installation featuring small clay figures. These figures wouldn't be fired in a kiln; instead, they would stand, fall, break and disintegrate throughout the exhibition. At the end of the event, they would be thrown into a pile and discarded as clay."
Hello world, i am selling these gift cards for printmaking workshops ! I hope you will find these as a good option for a good present for your close ones.
The workshops are both for experienced and begginers.
I hope to see many of you there!

Wellcome to my studio, workshop, the place where I make my artwork.
The exhibition “Et Usprogligt Sted”, A Wordless Space, has been born as a testimony to my exploration of savn; of missing that which is no longer close, my own longing as well as that of the Immigrant as a character. It is an exploration of the void that exists parallel to an eternal dream of reconnecting with the homeland, building a bridge between new and original.
In my works I try to map the distance in between those positions and to dissect the communication with the ones left behind, which too often becomes a mediated, fictitious feeling of closeness.
The urge to explore this thematic is a driving force in my work, as well as the overall topic for the exhibition. I am showing works created between 2013 and 2021 in which I expose myself and my emotions in order to manifest and make savn tangible and create space for it in contemporary art.
The exhibition “Et Usprogligt Sted” is envisioned as a travelling exhibition that, like the immigrant, crosses borders, moves, changes, and with its cryptic, visual oddness sparks thoughts and discussion about migration, savn, longing, about death, and about the way we humans interact with each other in this world.
Rum 46 is starting their 2022 exhibitions program “Works That Hurt” this March. I have had the honour of being the first exhibitor with a solo exhibition under the headline “Borders”.
I am showing two works, “Grænsesøgende” and “55 drops of regret”. The works circle around immigration; “Grænsesøgende” is a humorous and exaggerated representation of the terrifying and invasive political decisions affecting immigrants in Denmark, personified by former minister of immigration, Inger Støjberg, while “55 drops of regret” deal with the emotional consequences and personal turmoil that can haunt a person post-migration.
Both works are from 2017 but have gained new dimensions through more recent political, social and societal events that bring new light and recontextualization.
The exhibition runs from 4th of March to 4th April
“Grænse søgende”
In 2019 I started working with Project Mødesteder on a permanent public artwork in collaboration with groups of children in 4th and 5th grade from schools in the area of Gellerup.
During a series of workshops in Gellerup the children and I dived deep into the process of creating AFTRYK, imprints, by exploring this big area that they live in and pass through on a daily basis. We paid attention to the things that we don't normally notice, things that all of a sudden become special through our focus; a rock, a can of cola, a stick, a screw. The objects we chose were then used to imprint textures and patterns on a square of soft clay. The unique and expressive tiles that this process resulted in were glazed and gathered in a colorful collective artwork which is permanently installed in public space in the area.
The following years, 2020 and 2021, I ran new rounds of the project, building on the artwork to make it even more impressive with a new group of children every year.
So proud of being part of this project
Thank you BKF!!!
In this project BKF has gather a group of professionals to help you along with your artistic protect, an exhibition, production of new works ,etc.

The exhibition at Hirtshals Fyr went so well, the space and my works matched perfectly; the beautiful light in the old lighthouse building worked well for my advantage, my works shined through the spaces and connected with each other to give the viewers a total experience of an exhibition telling elements of the same story through 26 individual works.
Here i present a selection of pictures from the exhibition Sagn om Savn.
In the coming 2 weeks I will be having a little solo exhibition In Hirtshals in the northern part of Jutland in Denmark, I am very pleased with the results.
For this beautiful exhibition i have put together some of my latest works under the thematic of “Savn” in which I explore the relations one has with its own family across seas and long distance communication.
I am very proud, thank you to all the volunteers that have made this exhibition possible, thank you all!
Host certificate 55 Immigrants
55 Immigrants is my latest project in which I have made 55 monoprints representing 55 different immigrants. They are now in a suitcase ready to be sent out into the world, so that these immigrants can reach their new homes.
Every time an immigrant leaves the suitcase to join their new family and home, a map will be updated with the new location and a picture.
Throughout this journey the income from the profit of the prints will be donated to Danish Refugee Council, an NGO that helps immigrants around the world.
I did not hear much from him for some time, and I do not remember how much I thought about the fact that he was not there anyway, I was busy growing up I guess.
I remember that school was difficult at that point, could it be because I was going through these changes in my life? I have never made that connection before, but I think it makes sense. All of a sudden I had to change school, closer to the place my mother worked, in another town, a little less than two hours each way. Until one year later we moved away from El Peñol to Rionegro. We knew nobody there.
... He started his journey to the unknown, letting behind everything he once knew and was certain about, I was not aware of what was going through his mind, I remember I just loved to play with my toy cars, they could fly, they could jump and reach for the impossible, I can remember myself lying on the ground on a soft carpet with my head resting on my left hand, being hypnotized by the wheels of my toy car rolling from side to side, leaving those beautiful track marks on the land I imagined that the huge carpet was...
Reports tell that the suitcase with 55 Immigrants is wandering around in the United States of America. Planning the next move.
To continue with the story I started telling last week about my father and the American dream, we have to go back to 1990 when I was a little boy that did not understand much about the world around me, but had a playful mind and loved to bicycle around the little town of El Peñol, Antioquia, Colombia.
I did not really understand why or where my father was going, I did not have any certain idea of how long time he would be gone or when he would be back. I just have a very blurry memory of the time he was at the the José María Córdova International Airport getting ready to start his journey. I guess he was dreaming of the wonderful life he would be able to give us by working in the United States and sending money back to us in Colombia to help us improve our lives; while all I hardly remember is that he had a dark blue suit - or perhaps it was black... To be continued.
After some few weeks the 55 immigrants have arrived to the United States of America, the land of the free.
From the mid 80's to the beginning of the 90's many South and Central Americans came to the United States of America in pursue of the so-called American dream.
The situation was hard and unemployment rates were high, inflation was sky rocketing in their home countries, it seemed like a good idea to come to the US to work and send money back home.
My dear father was one of them... To be continued.
It has been reported that the 55 immigrants have arrived safely to Paris, and are now in hands of this helping soul, Bertrand Scholler at Gallerie 55 Bellechase.
55 immigrants have left home, seeking life in a better place, wandering for a change.
