Anna Kristine Hvid Petersen’s Art Style

Anna Kristine Hvid Petersen's paintings are sublime, rich, and meticulous in detail, creating a window into an alternative world. At first glance, her compositions and techniques nod towards the traditions of still life. However, a closer examination reveals inaccuracies in shadows, captivating yet deceptive backgrounds, and a mix of familiar and unknown objects. These elements combine to create dynamic narratives that seem almost within our grasp.

Her works often verge into scenography and landscape, portraying objects with human-like characteristics. The objects appear aware of the viewer's presence and their symbolic significance. Her predominant use of smaller formats compels viewers to engage closely with her work, intensifying the experience.

The result is a playful and captivating series of works that suggest a parallel reality, building an evolving and growing storyline layer by layer.
