The artist behind Skovgaard Works

Christina is a 50 year old Danish, Scandinavian painter shaped by an artist lineage and a life lived both very locally and authethentic and as international traveler, where she also finds inspiration to her artwork.

Her grandfather left for Paris at a young age to paint among other artists with one on one precision he painted paris's marvellous scenery. Christina enjoys to work  more abstractly, yet with the same devotion to detail, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality.

Educated in marketing and graphic design, she has spent her career creating and selling within the exclusive lifestyle market, through brand and prdocuct development she has a trained eye for composition, atmosphere, and still stays true to quality and understands understated, tactile, and lasting.

Her world has been formed by years of travel and some international living, including time in San Francisco and London’s St George’s Hill, and inspiration drawn from the Alps, the mediterainian coastline, Paris by the Seine and Avenue Montaigne, Milan, Lake Garda, Hamburg-Blankenese, and the stillness of the Flensburg Fjord gives great inspiration and a sence for freedom and expression.

Over time, she returnes to her roots by the Vejle Fjord and a a certain tranqulitiy and love for nature lives in her heart, from walks in the woods and by the water, and today she lives by the bay in Risskov, where Scandinavian light and space continue to shape her work.

The paintings are created to hold presence, inviting balance, reflection, or gentle provocation, while leaving room for the viewer to decide what the feeling becomes, as freedom and free spirits is important to Christina.

Collectors choose her originals for what cannot be replicated, the depth of the surface, the quiet shifts of light and texture using different techniques, and the singularity of a one on one work that transforms the space it lives in.

Working on linen and cotton canvas in acrylic, oil, and experimental materials, each piece can hold wild, spontaneous energy, calmness—or both—ranging from suede-like simplicity to thoughtful faces, and even abstract skeletons softened by small “kisses” of gratitude, always leaving space for the viewer’s imagination.
