The Holmen Church

This beautiful old church with the large chapel used to be a sailor’s church and is located by one of the channels to the inner harbour in Copenhagen. Because of its maritime history, this portrait is taken from the channel side with the reflection in the water being an important part of the composition.

As an artist, Karen Vesterager, has been following the same path since she started as an artist. The approach has been advanced artistic post-processing. The purpose is to create beautiful and enchanting artworks, that should to some extend be appraised as paintings rather than photos. The process is highly precise and controlled. The color harmonies are used actively. The final artworks blurs the line between reality and dream.
