Good afternoon, We look forward to helping you!
Mie Olise Kjærgaard is a Danish artist who lives and works in both Copenhagen and New York. She studied at several art and architecture schools, including Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, where she completed her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in 2008. In addition to painting, she creates sculptural works and installations, exploring themes of space, structure, and storytelling.
Kjærgaard's paintings are often large in scale and characterised by expressive brushstrokes and a distinctive colour palette. Bold, vibrant colours immediately draw the viewer in and give her works a strong visual presence.
Her art frequently centres on female figures portrayed in motion and action rather than as passive subjects. The women in her paintings are sweeping, dancing, riding, or engaging with one another in play and shared experiences, conveying a sense of energy, confidence, and freedom.
Her recent work explores themes of femininity, freedom, transformation, and dreams, often referencing women's history, feminism, and the evolving role of women in society.

About the Artwork
The painting was originally displayed opposite Conference Room G (Sal G) as part of the launch of Nyborg Strand's new kitchen in 2020.
The female figure has a slightly dark, enigmatic presence that creates a sense of uncertainty. She is an architect who has designed a house supported by slender columns, introducing an element of curiosity and inviting the viewer to question what they are seeing.
The artwork can now be found in Salon 7.
