Painting Us - You and Me by Pedersen Morten | Painting Abstract Acrylic

Ever since he was a child, Morten has drawn and painted. He grew up surrounded by nature in a small country town in Denmark. He studied at the Copenhagen School of Art, as well as under the Canadian artist Steven James Back. Today, Morten divides his time between his job as a children’s social worker and as a professional artist. He loves the process of creating a composition that allows him to express and capture his mood. Morten seeks to recreate in his "organic" work the contrasts, structure and composition that he observes in landscapes and in biological processes. Much like the Romantic painters, nature represents the artist’s state of mind. Morten is not a mere spectator; his own introspection leads to an abstract work that reflects his inner workings.
