BIOGRAPHY
'Colour is healing magic anybody can benefit from'
'I don't always use a brush to paint with. Sometimes it's a credit card. Or my fingers...'
'Curiosity and exploration is what makes it a joy to be an artist'
Art as mirror to the soul
Charlotte Dønvang helps the viewer to explore and connect to their own feelings and inner experiences through her colorful and emotional works. Her art is more than just colors and shapes; it is an invitation to reflection and a journey into man's inner universe, created with an authentic approach and deep respect for both the personal and the universal in all of us.
With acrylic as her preferred medium, she works quickly and spontaneously, guided by her emotions. Her experimental technique includes everything from brushes and spatulas to fingers and everyday objects, giving the works a tactile dimension that draws the viewer to feel, not just see.
For Charlotte, art is about building a bridge between the personal and the universal in humans. Her works speak to the inner life and create reflection and dialogue across age, culture and borders. This universal appeal has led to exhibitions in countries such as Korea, Lithuania, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, India and Denmark. She has also had several works exhibited at art museums abroad.
Charlotte is passionate about making art accessible and meaningful to those seeking deeper reflection and inspiration. She sees her works as opportunities to create connections and promote dialogue.
Charlotte Dønvang is not just an artist; she is a communicator of emotions and a creator of connections – an artist who paints the essence of what it means to be human.
Artist Statement
I love colors – they are energy and life, and they are the heart of my art. With powerful and vivid nuances, I explore deep themes about people's emotions, energies and experiences. Regardless of the subject, my goal is to create works that speak directly to both the consciousness and the subconscious.
My process is free and intense, a balance between chaos and focus, where I shape unique expressions and often add raw textures or figurative elements. I want my art to not only be experienced, but also felt – as a bridge between the inner and the outer in us humans.
For me, art is a journey into the soul, an opportunity to explore emotions and create connection and dialogue between people. I hope my works can inspire reflection and open up new perspectives.
