About Charlotte Tønder

Visual artist Charlotte Tønder.

My life with art!

The constant in my life is art! For the past 25 years, my passion and focal point has been art. I’m inspired by everything I meet and experience on my way. That’s why my images are often very different, because my mindset is crucial to how the final image turns out.

My clients are often surprised at how diverse my subjects can be, but I can’t imagine being limited to just one genre or form. I definitely see it as a strength in my creativity that I can move from the very abstract to the more figurative and use the whole color palette.

My images only take shape when I sit at the canvas. It’s typical of my work process that I have a basic idea – a “basic motif” – that I work from. Next, I erase the “basic motif”. The blurred motif leaves a random mark that I explore until I find my way into the subject.

I have taken painting courses in both San Francisco, where I previously lived for several years, and in Copenhagen. My artistic oasis for the last 10 years has been my gallery in Rørholmsgade, where I act as both artist and gallerist for another talented sculpture, Hans Felthaus. And periodically other artists. I’m part of Rørholmsgade, the artist street, which is an artist community with 15 other artists and galleries.
