MICHAEL BO JENSEN, 1981

Visual artist, Copenhagen, Denmark

Grew up near the forest and the sea. Dad was a typographer, hence visual influence came early on from home, but also greatly inspired by street culture, everyday moments and proximity to nature.

Since graduating focus was primarily on illustration, painting and print making, developed through thoughtful craftsmanship, great attention to details, and with a keen eye for visual aesthetics. Worked with several established institutions and brands on projects like editorial illustration, packaging design and mural art to name a few.

Always open for new inquiries, so don’t be a stranger, let’s talk : )
