Christiane Spangsberg

CHRISTIANE SPANGSBERG is an artist aspired by originality and imperfection. Originally Christiane comes from Vejle in Jutland, where she was born in 1989, but currently she is resident at Osterbro in Copenhagen. Drawing has always been a part of her life and she was send to drawing school at a very young age. Back in 2010 she found some drawings of animals made by Picasso, which inspired her to practice the one-line technique.

This is how the “faces” came about. More recently she has been inspired by Fauvism, a style which was developed by a loose group of early twentieth-century modern artists among Henri Matisse and André Derain. Although the direction only lasted a few years Christiane seek to get a deeper understanding of the Fauvism style and work.

“My style evolves with every new thing I see … It started even before I saw the one-line pieces by Picasso and it will continue through my amazement of the brushwork by the French early 20th century painters. I like to remove all noise so the pure expression remains. Whatever that is.”

“Some share their feelings and thoughts by writing, playing music, I draw.”
