English version
I did my first live painting session for an audience in 1995. Since 1999 I have been working professionally as a visualizer for some 150+ companies, organizations and institutions.
In the beginning I called my concept "Catalyst art" because the very use of an "other modality" in fields where words are absolutely predominant, always sparks innovative thinking (or "disruption" which seems to be the latest buzzword for that)
The gallery below gives you an idea of the variety of settings. From govermental institutions to blue collar workers. From gatherings of hundreds, where we had to use video and big screens - to a whispering meeting with one ninety-year-old lady at a hospice. From artful business consultancy to art for just arts sake. From huge monumental canvasses to series of smaller skeches.
Unfortunately only few of my cases are documented in English:
My collaboration with "Quilts of Denmark" 2004 which was awarded with the Tuborgfonden prize became internationally renowed and references are found in international litterature: e.g. Here.
There is a brief account for my collaboration with KAMI at the company website.
