About my art form, my enthusiasm and appreciation of art:
My paintings have no facade. They are unvarnished, accessible and honest. I am not concerned with physical configurations, but focus on soleful expression.
My paintings are colorful - I lose myself in colors and work with them intensively to make them truly com alive.

Press release, by Agora Gallery, New York Vita Brejners paintings break all the rules. With its raw yet detailed use of organic shapes, Brejners work picks up the expressionist tradition championed by DeKooning. Brejners twist is a jazzy, personal landscape that does not shy away from the suggestions of psychological trauma.
Brejner relies on unpredictability, and her unique muse dances with the energy of improvisation. "The brush and paint lead the way," she insists, and the result is an abstract primitivism, complete with totemic faces and half-seen tableaus emerging from backgrounds that vary between sinister and euphoric.
Brejner says her paintings each hide a story, and her personal archaeology of the process uses the tools of emotional extremes and a liberty with color scheme. "I have to find that particular story," Brejner says. Thick outlines and boundary-free shapes melt and collide, and despite, or perhaps because of, her embrace of a free-associative work process, the stories Brejner discovers in her paintings are viscerally defiant of category. She becomes not only the creator, but the first viewer of her art as well, offering the first interpretation. Vita Brejners wild inspiration is also fueled by the beauty and visual drama of Copenhagen, Denmark, where she lives and works.
My passion for writing and painting is longstanding.
My desire to write brought me to the Dansih Writing Scool in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I improved my writing skills.
Shortly after, I got an urge to express my thoughts and feelings with paint on raw canvas.
My paintings are expressionistic and colouristic. I like the idea of ignoring all rules about distance, accuracy and colour scheme.
The topic of all my paintings is "What the eyes see".
The interpretation of my paintings depends on who you are and what your eyes "see".
Figurative pictorial art is also a great passion of mine. The result is unpredictable and therefore exciting.
My paintings hide a story. Before a painting can come to life, I have to find that particular story. In the beginning I never know what the outcome will be - never deciding in advance. The brush and paint lead the way. When the structure appears, I try to 'take it in' and get closer to the exact story I want to tell.
The outcome - the finished painting - is my great joy and reward.
