Art Nordic takes place June 24 – 26 at Lokomotivværkstedet in Copenhagen. As always, a wide range of artists help to create three days of creativity, meaningful conversations and art. Here you can meet a selection of this year’s 250 artists.
Ahmad Mallah / @s.t.a.t.e.l.e.s.s
Ahmad Mallah is the first artist we would like to introduce you to. His paintings and drawings are enshrouding the viewer in an atmosphere of the unpleasant.
And just exactly the unpleasant, we need if we want to understand how human psyche can be in deep suffering.
As a Palestinian, born and raised in Syria, and now based in Amsterdam Ahmad has therefore experienced the world’s brutality first hand as a refugee – a consequence of the war in Syria.
He carries with him a bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the art school AKV|St. Joost in Breda.
It’s an honor to have Ahmad with us at Art Nordic 2022.

Francisca Meena Rude / @commander_rude
Francisca Rude is another amazingly skilled artist who we want to highlight for you.
Her abstract paintings are drawing their inspiration from geology and the earth.
Minerals, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes are all phenomena that you can discover in Francisca’s paintings.
We believe that her art can help us reflect upon the big strange whole that we are all a part of. Bringing us closer to our common planet.
Francisca is a self-taught visual artist from Denmark.

Manu De Mey / @manudemey
As a child of an artist, Manu could not break his social legacy, and we are glad he did not!
His paintings and portraits are full of emotion. They show faces and especially eyes, that are radiating melancholy and sorrow.

Growing up in a family with an artist parent, Manu couldn’t break his heritage, and we’re glad he didn’t!
His paintings and portraits are full of emotion. They show faces and especially eyes, that are radiating melancholy and sorrow.
Of certain relevance in our tragic actuality is his paintings of his Ukrainian friends. Knowing that the girls in these paintings are currently deeply affected by war is breaking our hearts.

Rimvydas Pupelis aka MUTA / @art_muta
Here’s MUTA from Lithuania MUTA works as a professional painter.
It’s easy to get dragged in by his artwork that’s turning characteristics of mostly real-life models into his abstract cubistic style.
Rather than depicting people as they seem to the photo-realistic eye, his focus is on capturing the moment and the spirit of the human he’s painting.
His creations are colorful, playful, and full of life and irony.

Through art, we are granted unique access to our fellow humans’ emotions and perceptions of the world. Art stimulates our empathy, creativity, and intelligence.
