What is it like being an artist in Denmark?
Helga: Well it is rather difficult to make a living. Only very few persons are able to do that. But there are many possibilities for exhibition. You can either pay for it or you can be invited by a private art union, of which there are many. But there are many other ways.
How would you describe your work? What inspires you?
Helga: My work is partly naturalistic partly imaginative. Birds have always been one of my motives, although they are never a certain kind. I also often use masks. This makes the atmosphere in the artwork a little surrealistic.
Do you have a favorite artist?
Helga: Yes, I have many favorite artists. Danish: Among others Reidar Magnus, Sven Wiig Hansen. From abroad: Cesanne, Miro, Anselm Kiefer, Degas, Kâthe Kollwitz and many many more.
What advice would you give young artists that are only just starting out?
Helga: Just: go on, go on, go on. Never give up!
