About Naja Utzon Popov

I was born in 1973 in Copenhagen, Denmark, into a family of artists. My creative genes are inherited from my grandfather Jørn Utzon, Danish architect most notable for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia. My mother, Lin Utzon, is a Danish artist and my father is Australian architect, Alex Popov.I am a sculptor, textile designer and ceramicist, my work is characterised by a deep fascination for the richness of form and colour in nature. My childhood years in Denmark have always been an important source of inspiration for my work, as have the years I spent in Australia. I make large scale installations in both clay and stone, as well as smaller ceramic sculptures.
