Maiken Hejnfelt

If Maiken Hejnfelt were to call her painting style anything it would be “abstract naturalism” though she prefers not to define her style, instead allowing herself the freedom to experiment with all painting techniques. From abstract landscapes reminiscent of the Impressionists to graphic Pop Art-style paintings, Hejnfelt skillfully engages with art history through the vast range of painting techniques it provides with successful outcomes in acrylic paint. Coupled with her versatile technical abilities is Hejnfelt’s mastery of color; whether it is a smooth, abstract work in one tonal range or a flurry of brightly colored brush strokes rendering a floral still life in thick paint, her abilities with color are strong and consistent, lending to each work’s uniqueness.

Hejnfelt was born in 1960 in Denmark, where she continues to live and work. Originally educated in languages and financial administration, Hejnfelt has turned back to her lifelong passion for painting. She is a member of the Frederikssund Art Association as well as the art-group “KunstnerKaelderen” in Oelstykke.
