ABOUT MALENE HEERUP

Malene Heerup is an accomplished Danish surrealist artist that lives

and works in the famous Frederiksberg village of Copenhagen,

where she grew up. Born in 1964 into a family filled with Danish

and internationally popular artists, including, her grandfather, world

renowned painter and sculptor Henry Heerup, and her father, Ole

Heerup, Malene grew up with an innate ability to observe subtext,

details and motifs. “The greatest education in my life as an artist comes

from growing up in a family full of three generations artists. It was the

most natural thing to relate to art by observing them at work and by

listening to their conversations. They stimulated my artistic vision,

enabling me to see what lies behind and beneath. They breathed life

into minute details transforming them into larger than life experiences

and emotions that slowly allowed the motifs to take shape visually

and emotionally”. While living in NYC and attending Parsons School

of Design Malene found her artistic identity through the influence of

the city, which included hard work and confidence in transcendence.

“… New York taught me to work and believe in wonders. I draw my

inspiration from a subconscious where observations are moulded by

joy, humour and a desire to communicate using motifs, colours, shapes

and compositions to tell my story”.

Malene is a prolific artist, producing many works of art each year. She

is as comfortable in her studio as well as producing commissioned

works for individuals and companies. She is often invited to participate

in art events as a producer or as ambassador of art.
