Vita / Lebenslauf:
A few words about myself, my art form, my enthusiasm and appreciation of art:
My passion for writing and painting is longstanding.
My desire to write brought me to the Danish Writing School in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I improved my writing skills.
Shortly after, I got an urge to express my thought and feelings
with paint o raw canvas-
My paintings are expressionistic and colouristic. I like the idea of ignoring all rules about distance, accuracy and colour scheme.
The topic of all my paintings is "What the eyes see".
The interpretation of my paintings depends on who you are and what your eyes "see".
Figurative pictorial art is also a great passion of mine. The result is unpredictable and therefore exciting.
My paintings hide a story. Before a painting can come to life, I have to find that particular story. In the beginning I never know what the outcome will be, never deciding in advance. The brush and paint lead the way. When the structure appears, I try to 'take it in' and get closer to the exact story I want to tell.
The outcome - the finished painting - is my great joy and reward.

The hidden past
A happy end: It all started with a pain in her feet. The search for a qualified chiropodist turned out to be the beginning of a career in art.
Today Vita Brejner presents her paintings in New York.
- An important event in my life affected my art. I got the courage to face my own reality. This event changed my paintings and gave me a human and artistic freedom and release to create true and authentic paintings, to dare, to be, and use my traumatic past to create art, says the artist Vita.
Right now the artist Vita Brejner from Taastrup presents a number of her paintings at the Agora Gallery in New York; the capital of art. Most Danish artists dream of presenting their art in New York, but very few succeed.
You might think that many years of hard work, education at the academy of fine art and an endless number of exhibitions have paved the way for Vita’s
triumph. However, this is not the case. Through her paintings and poems, Vita reveals her repressed past.
- My regained awareness of past traumatic events urged me to express my feelings trough painting and writing. My art may seem frightening to some people, but unfortunately, my paintings are illustrations of the harsh reality for many people around the world. I want to describe this rough world and invite people who are unaware of it to enter it.
While painting, however, Vita experiences an atmosphere of explosion. She is sweating and feeling uncomfortable. – It’s a struggle to get trough the process of creating a painting, but I treasure this process and wouldn’t miss it, says Vita.
Art and chiropody
- I started painting three years ago, says Vita.
She had her first exhibition at the library in Høje-Taastrup in 2004. At that time I had 28
Meanwhile Vita was looking for a skillful chiropodist, but didn’t know any. She went trough the local telephone book and called a few chiropodists. - I found one who seemed sincere and professional, and her clinic was located only few kilometres from my home. Thus I chose her, grabbed my bike and went to see her, says Vita.
Vita and her chiropodist got into conversation, and they soon got to talk about pictorial art. - I told her about my 28 paintings, and she suggested that I brought them with me next time …not the paintings, of course, but photos of them, says Vita.
Immediately after treatment Vita went to City2 (a shopping hall) and bought a
The chiropodist liked the paintings and thought that Vita should continue painting. She also expressed her interest to see Vitas studio and to see the real paintings.

The chiropodist visited Vita’s studio. – She went trough all my paintings one by one, while making comments and comparing several of my paintings with works of the Cobra group, but at that moment I knew very little about Cobra. And just before the chiropodist left, she encouraged me to exhibit, says Vita.
By the way, it turned out that the chiropodist Birte Claire Højberg herself also was an artist.
A cry for freedom
-Shortly after this episode, I established my own website, bought a cellphone and produced some information about myself, says Vita.
Subsequently, Vita presented her art at different societies of art, galleries and fairs. Furthermore, she started showing her art at several web galleries.
Last year Vita was contacted by a representative of the famous Saatchi Gallery in London who had seen her art on the web and Vita was invited to upload her paintings on the Saatchi web gallery.
- Later on I received an email from Charles Saatchi, expressing how much he enjoyed looking at my paintings on the web. He thought that it was very exciting to see such a high standard in paintings created by an artist characterized by a high degree of variation. He hoped that owners of galleries, directors of exhibitions and collectors would find her art interesting.
All of Vita’s paintings are very personal which makes them highly original. Due to her non-academic approach to the canvas, her art is very honest. She is neither conceptual nor calculating. Her paintings possess an enormous amount of energy, indicating that Vita paints directly according to her feelings.
Vita’s personal style may not consist with all rules of art, but through her creating process she crosses many personal limits in herself as well as in her audience.
When you look at Vita’s paintings it feels like looking a stranger straight in the face, and you can help looking down occasionally. Psychological traumas affect Vita’s mind.
The greatest inspiration to my art is my past. I want to bring into the light and on to the canvas the unconscious and hidden part of me. I consider the expression of my mind and feelings very important, and in doing so I, do not restrict myself to certain figures or curves, says Vita.
Vita Brejner presents her paintings “ In Pursuit of Abstraction” at the Agora Gallery in New York until 24. may.
