About

de Hansi: I was born in Vordingborg Denmark 1956. Grew up in west Jutland and moved to Copenhagen when I was 20. Live north of Copenhagen in Virum.Inspired by Cezanne, Klee, Van Gogh, Munch and many others. Inspired by the old masters and, impressionism, post impressionism, expressionism, abstract expressionists etc. I have coined the term: Zonation painting for explaining my philosophy of painting.

Work
In summer I make drawings in town in Copenhagen, which I later use as inspiration for paintings in oil or acrylics in the atelier during winter.
I am a self taught painter. During the last 10 years I have been working in oil and acrylics in a studio in Copenhagen. I use a painting style inspired by Cézanne, Kleé and followers. I like to work in a studio in a process with fellow artists integrating lines, tones, colors and emotions into what I have coined “zonation” paintings.
