Housewarming & Exhibition

A Night of Inspiration and Connection

untold stories

Housewarming & Exhibition

On the 1st of March, 2025, in the heart of Copenhagen, a lovely evening unfolded. The classical rooftop apartment of a dear friend became the setting for a private gathering like no other. It was a night of stories, of connections, and of shared experiences — a celebration of art and humanity.

Surrounded by the timeless beauty of the place, the space transformed into a space for conversation, reflection, and inspiration. Stories from across the globe intertwined, creating a tapestry of culture and personal experiences.

It was a privilege to be a part of.

Thank you to everyone who attended, for making the evening so special, and for allowing these untold stories to find their place in the light.

Udstilling i Opera Huset

Jeg er dybt taknemmelig og glad for at have fået muligheden for at udstille mine værker i Opera Huset gennem Det Kongelige Teaters Kunstforening. Udstillingsperioden løb fra den 4. april til den 31. maj.

Det var en enestående oplevelse at få lov til selv at sætte udstillingen op på gangen, der fører op til husets kantine, hvor alle medarbejderne holder frokost. At være omgivet af så mange talentfulde mennesker og at høre forskellige sangere varme op i øvelokalerne bag væggene, hvor kunsten skulle hænge, var intet mindre end fantastisk.

Denne mulighed har ikke kun været en stor ære, men også en kilde til inspiration og glæde. Jeg er dybt taknemmelig for den støtte og anerkendelse, som jeg har modtaget fra både Kunstforeningen og de ansatte i Opera Huset. Det har været en uforglemmelig oplevelse, som jeg vil værdsætte for altid.

Tusind tak for denne enestående mulighed.

Foreningen udvalgte værket Lucy Liu, som ses på sidste billede (værket over computeren).

Exhibition at the Opera House
June 28, 2024

I am deeply grateful and thrilled to have had the opportunity to exhibit my works at the Opera House through the Royal Danish Theatre’s Art Association. The exhibition ran from April 4 to May 31.

It was an exceptional experience to set up the exhibition myself in the hallway leading to the house's canteen, where all the staff have lunch. Being surrounded by so many talented individuals and hearing various singers warming up in the rehearsal rooms behind the walls where the art was displayed was nothing short of amazing.

This opportunity has been not only a great honor but also a source of inspiration and joy. I am truly thankful for the support and recognition I have received from both the Art Association and the staff at the Opera House. It has been an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever.

A big thank you for this unique opportunity.

The Art Association selected the piece Lucy Liu, which can be seen in the last image (the piece above the computer).

"Embers of Creativity" – En Udstilling i Inkfinity Tattoo Shop

I Inkfinity's tattoo shop i City2 blev design og kunst forenet i rammerne af en unik udstilling. Med passionen for kreativitet som en klar flamme, blev “Embers of Creativity” en udforskning af de inspirerende stemninger omkring skabelse, spiritualitet og identitet.

Denne udstilling var en hyldest til den brændende lidenskab, der driver ideer og fantasi til at skabe. Gennem syv malerier præsenterede jeg, MKN, en visuel rejse ind i den transformative kraft, der ligger i at forfølge vores kreative impulser.

Jeg ønskede at fremhæve, hvordan kunstnere og alle, der søger at symbolisere livets højdepunkter og udfordringer, bringer deres unikke perspektiver til live. Fra de første streger af en tatovering til dybt reflekterende værker inviterede udstillingen til eftertanke om den personlige kreative rejse.

Sammen med teamet bag Inkfinity skabte vi en udstilling, der forførte gæsterne ind i en verden af fantasi og historier om mod, udvikling og selvopdagelse.

Tak til alle, der besøgte åbningsreceptionen den 18. marts og lod sig inspirere af "Embers of Creativity – Igniting the Soul’s Evolution". Udstillingen blev en fejring af den indre ild, der brænder i os alle, og en påmindelse om at lade den guide os i vores rejser.

Værker fra denne udstilling er næsten helt udsolgt – se Art Shop for de sidste værker, der stadig er til salg! Jeg arbejder allerede på nye værker, som bliver en del af fortsættelsen af denne udstilling, der lanceres i begyndelsen af 2025.

"Embers of Creativity" – An Exhibition at Inkfinity Tattoo Shop

At Inkfinity's tattoo shop in City2, design and art came together in a unique exhibition. With creativity burning bright as a flame, “Embers of Creativity” explored inspiring themes of creation, spirituality, and identity.

This exhibition was a tribute to the passionate spark that fuels ideas and imagination. Through seven paintings, I, MKN, presented a visual journey into the transformative power of following our creative impulses.

I aimed to highlight how artists—and anyone seeking to symbolize the highs and challenges of life—bring their unique perspectives to life. From the first strokes of a tattoo to deeply reflective artworks, the exhibition invited visitors to reflect on their own creative journeys.

Together with the team at Inkfinity, we created an exhibition that drew guests into a world of imagination and stories of courage, growth, and self-discovery.

Thank you to everyone who attended the opening reception on March 18 and found inspiration in "Embers of Creativity – Igniting the Soul’s Evolution." The exhibition became a celebration of the inner fire that burns within us all, reminding us to let it guide us on our paths.

Works from this exhibition are almost sold out—visit the Art Shop to find the remaining pieces still available! I am already working on new pieces for the continuation of this exhibition, launching in early 2025.

TINKER TANK Grand Opening (April 25, 2019)

On April 25, 2019, we warmly welcomed over 200 guests to the grand opening of TINKER TANK, our creative workshop facility. It was an unforgettable day shared with sponsors from ARC (Amager Resource Center), representatives from Amager Lokaludvalg, Partnerskabet, and Frelsens Hær.

As a community dedicated to sustainability, recycling, and upcycling, we came together to celebrate creativity, connection, and combating loneliness through shared skills and hobbies.

For me, the day was especially exciting—it marked the debut of my first professional studio! To top it off, three of my paintings sold on opening day, thanks to the incredible support from the local community.

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us and made the event so special.
