Hi ! I am happy to see you.

My name is Annika and I am a self-taught painter who lives in Southern Jutland, Denmark.

My art journey began back in 2018. Here I tried acrylic paint for the first time. Since then I have painted a lot, both in watercolor and acrylic. I also draw a lot, both sketches for paintings and just for fun.

My interest lies with the natural world and especially wild animals! I donate to Planet Wild, to support their work with nature restoration and help animals to thrive better on our beautiful planet.

I want to make a BIG difference for the wild natural world - my art is my way to support this by sharing my love for it and donating to charity.

My art starts by me being grabbed by the personality of an animal or the feeling of a landscape. Often I take a lot of my own photos, then sort them in folders. I choose the photos and feelings I want to create an art piece of. Then I play with colors and composition sometimes I make a mock up before I begin a final painting. Finally I get a sense of cohesion on the canvas by adjusting the colors and adding the final details.

My art is recognized to be a combination of naturalism and a touch of abstraction. I experiment quite a bit, both with light, colors and energy via brushstrokes on every piece. I hope to capture a feeling of mood and high spirits on every canvas.
