MICHAEL BO JENSEN, 1981

Visual artist, Copenhagen, Denmark

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

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

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