Yicks, how do you even answer such a question? Maybe we should try to get the 'facts' straight first:​

​

My name is Louise Østergaard Knudsen. Im 28 years old and I live in 'The city of smiles' - aka. Aarhus, Denmark. I have a cat, a boy friend, and an endless hunger for pick-and-mix candy. 

​

Well, that must be the most important facts about me. If you haven't got bored of my life yet, let me try to explain you my thoughts behind LØKArt.

​

I have always loved to draw and paint. It has been my way of escaping the mundane everyday life and journey into a world of colors and endless opportunities.   

A couple of years ago I had my first encounter with severe anxiety. Back then I studied Anthropology, but do to.. well, a sudden totalt existential crisis, I took a leave of absence from university and started on an Art School (Skolen for Kunst og Design) in Aarhus.

Here, I rediscovered my childish joy for drawing. When the pen touched the paper, I could let go of my negative thought spirals and journey into another world. 

​

Today, I study theology at Aarhus University. Almost all of my illustrations has started as a sketch in a notebook, doodled during a boring lecture about ancient greek grammar or luthers 95 thesis. 

I hope to become a priest someday. Priest and artist - doesn't that sound like the dream!?

​

I hope that you can recognise yourself in some of my work. To me, the point of 'art' is to communicate your feelings and experiences to others. When we see us-self reflected in other peoples thoughts we realise that we are truly never alone.
