Annette Højgaard

Annette Højgaard is a self-taught visual artist with a strong connection to her hometown of Skagen and her summers as a child in the Faroe Islands. Her fascination with the light in Skagen and the darkness of the Faroe Islands deeply marks her memories and constitutes a significant source of inspiration for her artistry. She integrates these impressions by adding depth and color to her paintings.

The painting process is central to Annette Højgaard, and the work on each painting can be long and challenging, especially if the painting does not develop according to her intentions. Her artwork is characterized by a structured composition with many layers, which creates a unique raw structure and a special depth. Annette uses both oil and acrylic paints in her artistry to achieve the desired effects.
