Press Release

Ebba Grethe Moegelvang once remarked, “Life isn’t about the breath we take, it’s the moment that takes our breath away.” So, it’s no surprise that her artwork is characterized by an effervescent spirit and spontaneous brushstroke. Mixing bold, brilliant acrylic paints into a tantalizing spectrum of hues, Moegelvang channels the primal energy of the Fauvist painters spearheaded by Henri Matisse, but in the process imparts her own unique artistic viewpoint. Each beautifully applied painting captures a particular emotion, relaying a message that sticks with the viewer in a profoundly resonant viewing experience.  Frequently incorporating elements of the wilderness into her paintings, from wild animals to abundant botanicals, Moegelvang expresses a deep love and appreciation of nature while at the same time effectively using each element to convey a corresponding emotion.

Having traveled throughout the globe and studied for a time in France, Moegelvang is profoundly influenced by a diverse array of cultural experiences. Also a published author, she lives and works in Denmark.


Artist Statement

I was lucky enough to grow up in a large, loving family, surrounded by the natural beauty of the area of Denmark where we lived. Later I traveled widely, taking the love with me and experiencing new sights. This warmth and my appreciation of nature remain strong sources of inspiration in my work, as is my admiration for the works of Matisse and Picasso. I try to capture the place where I am painting, with all its expression and intensity. The act of creation itself has fascination and spirit, and the colours I use give me a sense of freedom. Through meditation and silent music, my painting flows through my fingers onto the canvas.
