About Malene Georgsen – self-taught Danish painter | Paintings, art prints and canvas prints

Welcome to my studio

My path into art began during a difficult period of my life. I escaped into colour because I couldn't do anything else — and I began painting the feelings I was missing myself: calm, light, hope, a sense that the world was still beautiful. What started as a refuge became, over time, my language.

I'm self-taught, and over the years I've worked persistently to find my own expression. Today I paint in both oil and acrylic — it takes patience, and the works develop at their own pace. My motifs revolve around swans and the sky; around the quiet, almost imperceptible shifts in light and colour you find in nature if you give yourself time to look.

My style is calm, dreamy and recognisable. I work to create pieces that give space — for breathing, for reflection, for the feeling of connection I was searching for myself when I began.

Alongside my originals, I release limited prints on canvas and cotton paper in a quality I stand behind. Every print is produced with care, so it feels like a work in its own right — not a reproduction.

About me and my work

My name is Malene Georgsen and I'm a self-taught painter. I live and work in Strøby near Køge Bay in Denmark, where I have my studio. You're welcome to visit me there by appointment.

I paint in oil and acrylic on canvas. My motifs are the sky, clouds, light and swans. The colours are soft, and the expression is calm and dreamy.

My works are gathered in series. The most important are Sky Stories, Portals, Cloud9, If We Were Butterflies and Sky Studies. Some works, like Bliss and Portal of Vitality, exist both as an original and as a print.

I sell directly from my studio, not through galleries. My works hang with collectors in Denmark and around the world. More than 100,000 people follow my work on Instagram, and videos of my paintings have been viewed millions of times.
