Unique Work
Framed only
Dagmar Petersen's work explores our collective sensory and emotional encounters with the world, emphasizing universal themes that connect us. By painting directly on the screen, she creates work that plays with the boundaries of painting within print. Through a language of intuitive brushstrokes, Dagmar depicts collective figurative yet abstract motifs focusing on painting the feeling of them to speak to your senses and emotions. In her recent series, “Refraction of Metamorphosis”, Dagmar underscores social shifts through mystical frog figures in an unnatural dreamy, pink universe. Frogs as a symbol are historically connected to different omen meanings, here inviting the viewer into reflections of themes as decay and environmental changes, encouraging the viewers to consider our mythical relationship with nature. The artworks are painted with acid-dye colours onto a screen using a wet-on-wet screen painting technique, allowing discrete areas to rise. The monotype is then printed onto silk satin fabric. Dagmar holds a BA in the Study of Religion from Aarhus University (2015) and a BA in Textile Design from VIA University (2018). Her diverse educational background influences her work, enriching it with universal, cultural, and spiritual questions.
