ABOUT ME
Mads Rafte Hein
Mads Rafte Hein (b. 1977) lives and works in Roskilde, Denmark. His works focuses on presenting a broad range of interiors, created in a style that is very specific to his oeuvre. He is very comfortable painting rooms filled with decorations, still lifes bursting with details and arrangements brimming with pastel colours. He finds his inspiration all over visual culture, from everything from photography, Danish Golden Age paintings, collages and books, to videos and old movies. His recent paintings are colorful and vibrant, with a common theme of bright pink, yellow and turquoise. They are infused with contrast - mixing objects, scenes and even centuries. He has achieved the title of Graphic Designer from Copenhagen Technical College in the Graphic Department. In addition, he has been taught by renowned artists such as: Grethe Bagge, Bjørn Poulsen, Peter Carlsen and Peter Nansen Scherfig. He has exhibited in Germany, Taiwan, Austria, Sweden and participated in numerous exhibitions in Denmark, including three times at Charlottenborg’s Spring Exhibition and at the Artists’ Autumn Exhibition at Den Frie, Copenhagen. His works are found in many private collections and art associations.
