Asger B Svenningsen
At an early age, Asger never thought much about drawing—until one afternoon, almost by accident, his pencil seemed to move on its own. What began as a quick sketch in the corner of his notebook slowly turned into something alive: shadows that felt real, expressions that carried emotion.
He started noticing details everywhere—the way light hit a window, the lines in people’s faces, the shapes hidden in ordinary things. His teachers called it talent, but to Asger it felt more like discovering a new language he didn’t know he could speak.
He still doubted himself sometimes, comparing his work to others, wondering if it was really special. But every time he sat down to draw, hours passed unnoticed, and the world made a little more sense.
Asger wasn’t just learning to be an artist—he was learning how to see.
I have always had a connection to art, I have always tried to incorporate it into what I did, everything from schoolwork to cleaning my room, even unconsciously.
In the past year I have really developed as an artist which has also led to changes in my daily life. I have started to see a painting or a composition in everything from the outside. Art has given me a new and positive mindset for most things
I was born and raised in Rudersdal municipality and go to school in Virum. In my free time I go to basketball and chess, and of course there must be room for art. I spread myself a lot, with different leisure activities and different friends
I am inspired by everything. I take inspiration from buildings and people I see from the outside, but a lot of my art is inspired by people and animals. I am inspired by the approach and behavior of humans in different situations and emotions. I am taking a number of colorful but at the same time very exhausted paintings with me. It creates a contrast between the creativity in all of us that still shines through a tired body. I believe we all have something we enjoy doing and can get into, even if you are a completely “normal” citizen on the facade
Right now I am in the process of finding out where I am and where I would like to get with my creativity. I feel like I am starting to find something I like, both with the expressionist paintings and with the fish. But I am still experimenting with different media and styles.
