Same landscape, different views (Lake Arrowhead, USA)

Acrylic and polymer on canvas

130x150cm

2023

On a fateful day, as the Copenhagen citizens prepared to celebrate diversity and accomplishments at the Pride Parade, a young man's anger on the other side of the planet consumed him. Tragically, he targeted Laura Ann, ending her life way too soon and leaving an immense void within the tight-knit local community that held her in high regard.

Laura Ann was an unwavering ally, embodying the true essence of support. Her early death was a result of the disgusting hatred directed towards the LGBTQ community, a cause she championed fearlessly.

Often seen wearing a light brown hat, now gently swaying in the breeze above the calm waters of Lake Arrowhead, Laura Ann's memory shall forever endure. May she be eternally remembered for her courage and resolute determination.

Laura Ann is leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

Laura Ann died at the age of 66.

Same landscape, different views (Fortaleza, Brazil)

Acrylic and polymer on canvas

130x150cm

2023

Fortaleza (Brazil)

In the picturesque coastal town of Fortaleza, Brazil, life went on with the vibrant energy and the city pulse. Dandara, a gentle and kind trans woman, lived a quiet existence. However, fate took a dark turn one day when a group of young boys crossed her path.

In a heartbreaking display of cruelty, they captured her on film, subjecting her to a barrage of attacks from every angle. With bare hands, relentless kicks, and makeshift weapons, they inflicted pain upon her fragile body. Dandara, overwhelmed and unable to walk, found herself at the mercy of their torment. As she pleaded for her life, her battered body drenched in blood, the boys performed even more degrading actions. In an act of finality, they transported her emancipated body in a wheelbarrow and drove her into a shadowed alley, putting an end to her short life.

Yet, even in the face of such unspeakable brutality, Dandara's spirit remained indomitable. On her last day, she wore a vibrant yellow t-shirt, a symbol of her resilience and inner strength. As blood stained her face, she found solace in the fabric, gently wiping away the evidence of her suffering. Today, that very t-shirt hangs on a clothesline, swaying in the gentle breeze by the palm trees that line the sun-kissed coast.

Let us forever remember Dandara as a beacon of compassion and acceptance. Though her life was tragically cut short, she is leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of those who knew her and the countless others who carry her memory.

Dandara lived to be 42 years old.

Body storage III

130x100cm

2023

“Body storage” are paintings inspired by Renaissance and Baroque illustrations from medical science. The foundation of medical science was created by men via studies of the male body, i.a. corpses, which were raised from the Tiber, and were studied and drawn. Only much later was the knowledge of female anatomy incorporated into medical science and teaching. I transform my own studies of all bodies into androgynous hybrids and erase the barrier; the gender.

As a queer artist, I like to blur the lines and draw attention to what binds us together. Instead of differences, I highlight the similarities and in “Body storage”, our emotional life. Where is the feeling of being crushed stored, and which memories have been stored where? Under the skin, our memories good and bad are kept; we are a kind of warehouse of memories. Moments obtained in different cells, all the times we were broken, the traumas and defeats we suffered, but also the love, the fleeting happiness and the wounds.

Keeping up with the norms III

70x39cm

2023

In a world full of norms and unwritten rules on how to be a “real normal person” orderly and polite, it is sometimes frustrating to be an lgbtq person who actually lives up to the rules, but is still not accepted. But it is also a liberation not to fit into the systems, because then you can mold your own world and break out of the sometimes old fashioned traditions.

This series depicts the norms surrounding the home, its interior, and order, and also the society’s rules of romance.

Dear friends - new artwork

🌄

Searching for that silver lining IV

Acrylic and polymer on canvas

40x60cm

2023

🌱

I found myself constantly hoping for better times. It was like I was under a spell or maybe trying to swim but kept drowning, I was restless.

Then I suddenly remembered the dharma teachings about life as a continuum with ups and downs, and the moment I once again accepted the fact that happiness is fleeting and can't be fixated, the silver lining started to appear.

This series shows humans, some are just a skeleton, searching for that feeling of acceptance and healing, while the sun sets and the wild nature has almost disappeared due to our habits and needs. What do you need to be happy and whole, and are you also waiting for that beautiful silver lining that arises when the sunlight finally breaks through the dark rainy clouds?

Rising from the ashes VII

150x130cm

2022

@henriettehellstern

Once every 500 to 1000 years, the bird Phoenix rises from the ashes of its nest, reborn, with renewed strength. You cannot kill it, it is incomparably strong. We know it from Egyptian history and visual art, in the Nordic countries we adopted it in the 12th century and mention it after defeat or misfortune.

After adversity, a person must rise and fight back or perhaps renew yourself, this can happen many times throughout life. The lgbtq+ population is particularly exposed to hardship and confrontation. In this series, a number of different stages are visualized, transitions, metamophores. In the transition towards the new, infinite tension is released. Do we face something better or worse, do we avoid repeating previous mistakes and can we keep cool or are we caught in negative spirals?

As long as we are moving we are on our way, the ashes have erased all traces, new adventures await.

Still haven’t seen #kassandrassoestre in #Rundetaarn?

Here are some selected photos captured by Rine Rodin of some of the wonderful artworks.

We have worked on the exhibition for 2,5 years and had so many cool and funny sister talks and coffee drinking. Every single artist has delivered some of their best artworks so you better hurry and go see the 15 sisters, it is a historical moment in Danish art history and the story of Cassandra is so relevant.

Dear friends🫀

So nice to be able to share with you the first work in a new series I am working on; I call it corpus / domo I.

One thing we all have in common is the starting point. We have all been given a holster, a body, we meet the ideals of the world, but in reality it's just about where in life you are comfortable and satisfied. As you can see, this first painting is a hybrid of a neck / shoulder with plants, because even though the starting point is the common denominator, the end station is also part of our common history. That is why nature is often present in my works, this is where I myself find peace but also where we all end up, if we are not reincarnated😉Being queer and Buddhist has definitely an effect on my views on life, and I feel happy and blessed living in a place where I can be myself.

Stay strong and safe, and spend some of your precious time on good art💃

Leonora/Leonardo X

Acrylic and polymer on canvas

30x30cm

2024

In 1490, Leonardo da Vinci delved into the architect Vitruvius' theory on human movement within circles and squares, blending the human form with geometry.

He used male models and cadavers to study and highlight the “ideal body”, emphasizing perfect proportions akin to human anatomy. This exploration, rooted in the belief that "man is the measure of all things" as the philosopher Protagoras said.

This belief impacted the understanding of the female body, historically overshadowed by the male perspective.

This series challenges the traditional focus on the Vitruvian man, now exploring anatomy through abstract, expressive strokes with a queer approach.

Imagine if Vitruvius had been a woman and Leonardo had been Leonora – how would this have shaped our world?
