MICHAEL BO JENSEN
Visual artist, 1981Grew up near the forest and the sea in southern Denmark, greatly inspired by street culture, music, everyday moments and proximity to nature.
My artistic work spans illustration, painting, printmaking, decorative pieces and installation art. I have presented two solo exhibitions and taken part in several group shows, creating public work and exhibiting across Denmark and Sweden.
Today, my practice centers on art and visual storytelling, developed through thoughtful craftsmanship, contemporary artistic language and a keen eye for visual aesthetics.
Always open for inquiries or collaboration, so don’t be a stranger, let’s talk : )
