Jesper Johansen is a Danish visual artist. His paintings explore silence, contrast, and emotion – often reduced to their raw essence. With a background in photography and graphic design, Jesper’s work moves between disciplines but always stays rooted in a minimalist Nordic visual language. His studio is both workspace and refuge. Here, large-scale canvases are layered with physical gestures, textures, and moments of stillness. Nothing is rushed. Each brushstroke is part of a process – a rhythm – a conversation between control and intuition. Jesper’s work reflects a fascination with what’s not said. The tension between absence and presence. Darkness and light. Movement and pause. “I paint to listen. To simplify. To connect with something beyond language.
