Bjerker | Zeitgenössischer Künstler

Vibeke Lerfeldt Bjerker was born in Denmark in 1976. The niece of the famous naturalist painter Hans Henrik Lerfeldt, she quickly developed her artistic sensibility. Vibeke spent hours exploring the secrets of her artist uncle’s paintings. This gave life to her own creativity. She became a graphic artist and worked in marketing for fifteen years. However, she never forgot her painting, her first love, and eventually devoted herself entirely to it under the abbreviated artist’s name Bjerker. Strangely, the artist did not aspire to figurative art which had so captivated her in the past and leaned towards abstraction. Indeed, she has always enjoyed the freedom of interpretation that abstract works allow for. She sees them as songs that can be interpreted depending on our moods. Inspired by the every day life, its colours and patterns, Bjerker makes painting the window on her responses to global or personal situations. Painting is an unequalled way for her to escape.
