Berit Bredahl Nielsen

I was born in Denmark, and have been drawing and painting since early youth.
I have lived in Germany and France, where I had my own fashion brand. I moved to Italy in 2000 and decided to give up fashion design and devote myself full-time to painting -- a decision I have never regretted.
My chief source of inspiration are the many diverse cultures I have come across during my numerous trips. I always loved beautiful textiles, but I also draw inspiration from the shapes and color combinations of the traditional arts of China, Korea and Japan, and African and Oceanic tribal art.
And I should not forget to add that I just love flowers and gardens - always an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
I hope that the my paintings convey to the viewer something of the visual stimulation and excitement that I feel when I have created a new work.

Education: Copenhagen Fashion School as Fashion & Stage Costume Designer.
I also worked at the Royal Opera House, and other theatres in Copenhagen.
