Mogens Kischi

Drawing and painting was always a passion of mine and more than 25 years ago I decided to follow my dreams. I quit my job and took an art education at The Copenhagen Art School.

The flame was lit and there was no way back. I had my debut at the juried Winter Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1995 and the following year displayed three installations at the Artists' Fall Exhibition.

Since then I have had several exhibitions internationally -juried as well as curated museum and -gallery exhibitions.

I am in debt to the artists that opened my eyes to sculpture and later Graphics – I have my own printshop with equipment for lithographic print, linocut, drypoint, etching and aquatint. Besides painting and grahics I work with sculptures primarily in bronce.

Why I choose to be an artist I do not know, but to work creatively is now an important part of my life. I am inspired by the people around me and work with composition and colors to create the impression I want.

I was awarded the Bertel Prize 2020

I am a member of:
The November 18th Society of Artists
Artist group AURORA
Artist Association MULT
The Funen Printmaking Workshop
VAI Visual Artists Ireland
IAA International Association of Artists

I have exhibited in galleries and also several curated museum exhibitions - here are some examples.
