Inge Thøgersen

My studio is placed in In southern Aarhus ( Denmarks second biggest town) where we are artists in a work and exhibition community in beautiful green surroundings. In addition, I also have a home workshop at home nearby my studio. I am most inspired by everyday small and large experiences, by meetings with people and the impressions it leaves behind. I have been painting for the past 30 years, but I have always worked with creative expressions with different materials. When I started painting and canvases, it quickly became my preferred form of expression. Until recently, I also worked as a family therapist, and I found that art and therapy complemented each other perfectly. Now, however, I paint full-time. I am most inspired by everyday small and large experiences, by meetings with people and the impressions it leaves behind. I depend on regular walks by the water, where I am inspired by the expanses, colors, sounds and smells. When I travel, I take many photos especially of small details . I look at my photos and recall moods - and often it is interpreted and translated into a colorful painting. So far, I have made a choice that I primarily convey the positive outlook on life, hopes and opportunities. The pictures are usually large, colorful and abstract or expressive paintings - and for a change, the naïve and happy 3d dance pictures.

Has exhibited in art associations and galleries in Denmark, in galleries in Hamburg and Lisbon and participated in exhibitions in Italy, New York, Kosovo and Germany.

I have pieced together my artistic education from different courses, including at Aarhus Academy of Fine Arts and through teaching with private Danish artists.
