Mimi Harteg

Mimi Harteg prefers painting in large formats, but challenges herself to make smaller format paintings as well. Her artworks are expressionistic, in bold, purecolors, never adding a single drop of black. She is fascinated by the nude human body. Displaying physical nudity is like undressing the soul and pulling out blue feelings and golden stories. Sex should not be associated with pornography. Mimi believes sex is a natural, powerful and crucial human energy, which can be followed by all kinds of feelings, good and bad. Her main interests are relationships. The relation to oneself an done’s own feelings, thoughts, dreams and situations inlife. Most of all, the relationships between people. Her paintings contend deep feelings with a hint of the blues. Nonetheless, Mimi’s perspective on life is tinged with a distinct sense of humor.

Mimi Harteg was born in 1968 in Copenhagen, Denmark. For 25 years, she lived on the Danish island Bornholm, until September 2014 when she moved to Berlin. She has written and illustrated children books, and has worked as a teacher in Danish, English, Art, and Music. Mimi has had 18 exhibitions in Denmark exhibiting drawings, aquarelles, sculptures, acrylic paintings, and most of all, oil paintings. Since 2006, she has focused on oil paintings.
