I'm an artist creating colorful abstract art, primarily paintings, canvas prints, and art posters.
It is important to me that the finished painting sparks curiosity and inspires the viewer, allowing to discover new details in the artwork by each new view.
Michael Lønfeldt is a Danish artist who has developed his own distinctive artistic expression through years of dedication and experimentation. He is self-taught and has no formal art education or training – everything he knows has been achieved through curiosity, persistence, and countless hours of hands-on practice in the studio.
For Michael, creating art is both a passion and a craft – a process where technique, materials, and intuition come together. Over the years, he has focused on mastering the interaction between colors, the unique qualities of acrylic paint, and the creative possibilities that arise in the meeting between canvas, tools, and material.
His approach is experimental yet grounded in deep respect for craftsmanship. Every piece is tested, adjusted, and refined until the expression stands clear and the balance between structure, color, and energy feels right.
Lønfeldt’s art is driven by a passion for creating works that embody both harmony and strength. Each painting is the result of many hours of work – a search for the moment where material and emotion merge into one complete artistic expression.

Michael is a contemporary Danish artist working in a vibrant abstract world where color, detail, and composition form the essence of his expression. His works are defined by a bold and dynamic color palette combined with a refined sense of form and balance. Each painting reveals depth and complexity, where vivid hues and delicate details coexist in a harmonious visual rhythm.
In his art, the spontaneous meets the deliberate. Behind every abstract expression lies intention and precision – every color, line, and structure is carefully considered to achieve visual harmony. His multi-layered painting technique adds movement and texture, giving each piece a tactile quality that invites both distant admiration and close exploration.
Lønfeldt’s works exist at the border between the recognizable and the unpredictable. His colors and forms create their own reality, inviting viewers to see and feel in new ways. Through his modern, passionate approach, he creates art that not only impresses visually but also resonates emotionally – leaving a lasting impression long after the first glance.
The hallmark of Michael Lønfeldt’s paintings lies in the unique interplay of vibrant colors, striking contrasts, and an underlying sense of controlled chaos that together form a harmonious whole. Each piece is built up through many layers of paint, creating depth, structure, and a tactile surface full of movement and variation.
Many of the colors are unique, as Michael often mixes them himself from pure pigment-based acrylics. This gives him complete control over hue, intensity, and tone, ensuring each artwork carries its own distinct color language and atmosphere.
Beneath the surface beauty lies an undercurrent of energy – a dialogue between order and chaos, precision and spontaneity. His works are captivating from afar, appearing balanced and unified, yet when viewed up close, they reveal a complex world of textures, fine details, and subtle transitions.
It’s this duality – calm and energy, control and emotion – that defines Michael Lønfeldt’s signature style: art that continues to reveal new depths over time.
Michael’s artworks appeal to anyone who loves color – to those who enjoy discovering new details and interpretations every time they look at a piece. His art speaks to people who want to feel something real, to be moved by what they see, and to surround themselves with authenticity and emotion.
His works also attract those who value quality in every part of their environment – from craftsmanship to aesthetics. For many collectors, Michael’s art becomes the natural focal point of a space, a unique statement piece that defines the mood and adds a personal touch to the interior.
Michael works with several different techniques that together form the foundation of his artistic practice. From classic acrylic painting to modern digital processes, his work explores how color, structure, and emotion can merge into cohesive visual experiences. Regardless of the medium, each piece is guided by intuition, experience, and a deep understanding of color and composition.
A core part of Michael’s process is the traditional acrylic-on-canvas technique. Each painting is built up gradually, layer upon layer. Every layer must dry before the next is added, creating texture, depth, and movement. Through this patient process, he carefully shapes forms and lines to build complex and detailed compositions.
In some works, Michael paints using fluid acrylics in a dynamic, single-session approach inspired by action painting. This technique requires focus and precision, as the paint moves unpredictably across the canvas. The result is raw, expressive art full of energy and immediacy.
Another approach in Michael’s artistic practice is to select small sections from his original paintings. The countless fine details within each work make these selected fragments ideal for use in large-format prints. By scaling the motifs up, the essence and energy of the original artworks are preserved while the details are revealed on a new scale. The result is a series of artworks that combine the physical character of painting with the possibilities of the digital world.
Michael Lønfeldt places great importance on using only the highest-quality materials in all stages of his creative process. Each element – from paint and canvas to print and frame – is carefully selected to ensure both aesthetic excellence and long-term durability.
Michael paints on solid Italian canvases, either 100% linen (470 g/m²) or a linen-cotton mix (40% linen / 60% cotton, 420 g/m²). The pure linen canvas has a strong, textured surface, while the mixed fabric offers a smoother, more uniform feel.
He uses professional-grade acrylics from leading art material manufacturers. Over the years, he has carefully selected colors with high pigment content and strong color intensity to achieve the perfect balance between depth, brightness, and texture.
His canvas prints are produced on Hahnemühle Cezanne Canvas and Breathing Color Lyve Canvas – two of the world’s most respected premium-quality materials for color accuracy and fine detail reproduction.
All frames are made from FSC-certified European pine, finger-jointed for strength and stability. This ensures the artwork remains perfectly straight and secure over time.
His art prints are produced on high-quality, 230 g/m² matte fine art paper. The matte finish prevents glare and ensures crisp, vivid colors with excellent tonal depth.
The interest in painting emerged in 2005 as a personal refuge and a way to find calm in a busy everyday life. The early works were abstract and colorful, and their expression quickly drew attention from those who encountered the paintings. This marked the beginning of a more focused artistic practice.
As early as 2006, work began on painting reproductions. During this period, artworks were produced for resale through furniture stores and retail shops, primarily within the Danish market. The years spent on reproductions provided strong technical discipline and experience with pace, color handling, and composition, but the workflow was characterized by repetition and tight deadlines.
In 2012, a decisive choice was made. Work on reproductions came to an end, and full focus shifted to original paintings. This transition marked a new phase where the artworks were allowed to develop at their own pace. The motifs became more personal, the process more immersive, and quality a central focus. Paintings were only completed when composition, balance, and expression felt fully resolved.
In 2014, the practice became more experimental through the use of pouring techniques and action painting. This approach introduced movement, spontaneity, and energy as defining elements. The paintings were created in continuous processes where chance and control interacted, resulting in vivid and dynamic surfaces.
Over the following years, the techniques were gradually refined. In 2020, the layer-on-layer paintings reached the form that defines the expression seen today. Colors, structures, and depth are built through multiple stages, with each layer contributing to the whole. The result is artworks with a clear sense of spatiality, calm, and complexity, where details continue to reveal themselves over time.
This evolution has formed a cohesive artistic expression in which experience, craftsmanship, and curiosity merge — and where each artwork is the result of a deliberate and carefully considered process.
