Ida Kvetny
Born 1980 in Denmark
Lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark
The abundance of shape and color in Ida Kvetny’s works may seem abstract at the first
glance. Looking closer you will find a vividly detailed multitude of strange and magic
figures all with their own story to tell. The wide variety of painting techniques and the
seemingly limitless sources of inspiration such as old school video games and oriental
carpets all create a psychedelic effect in the pieces.
The dreamlike universe of her works have no obvious beginning nor end. It is up to the
viewer to decipher the simultaneously abstract and figurative landscapes. The works
constantly reveal something new exploding with intense color and form like an endless
flow of energy.
Ida Kvetny (b. 1980) graduated from Funen Art Academy in 2004, Edinburgh College of
Art in 2006 and received her MA from Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in 2007.
She has exhibited in Brandts, ARKEN Modern Museum of Art, Seoul National University
in Korea, Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Holstebro Museum of Art just to name a few.

Medal, Young Artist Of The Year Award, Aage and Yelva Nimb honorary grant and Niels
Wessel Baggers Honorary Award at Louisiana etc.
