Henrik Bakmann is a Danish award-winning contemporary artist who is known both
nationally and internationally for his impressive digital collages of colorful abstract
landscapes. Bakmann's images are a combination of his fascination with landscapes
and his use of technology. He has managed to create a unique style that captures
the essence of landscapes while pushing the boundaries of what digital artwork can
be.
Bakmann's works are colorful and complex collages that create a feeling of peace
and tranquility, and show a world of fantasy and beauty. His art is created by
processing photos of different surfaces and patterns and putting them together into
imaginative landscapes. The pictures thus become an expression of his feelings and
dreams and his desire is therefore to give wings to the imagination to fly out to the
people and give the outside world the opportunity to form their own imaginative
dreams and experience, thereby making the art experience personal. Each and
every one of his pictures carries an important message about how important it is to
take care of our land and wildlife. His images are meant as a reminder to all of us
that we have a shared responsibility to preserve our planet.
He was only a small child when his grandfather introduced him to art, but it wasn't
until he was 12-13 years old that he started drawing himself.
In his younger days, however, it was not art that filled his time. He taught children
and young people drama, which led to an educational advertisement for drama
director and later drama pedagogic art and cultural mediator for children and young
people.
He has also published two youth books.
Today, the interest in his pictures is so great that he now works full-time with the art.
