John Frantsen

I am an abstract artist from Denmark, based in Berthierville, Quebec, Canada.

From an early age I was exposed to the Art world by visiting various art exhibitions with my late uncle, who was an avid Art collector.

Of course, what I didn't know at that time, was the influence this would have on me. Today though, it is very clear.

Through the years, I always had a need and a desire to create in one way or the other.

When I was younger, I attended different creative courses and drawing classes. Later on, I had some classic training at the Art Academy of Funen in Denmark, where I spend a few years.

In 1996, I decided to focus on design and graduated as a fashion designer and teacher from The Couture department at The College of Arts and Crafts in 1999, Odense, Denmark.

After obtaining this degree, I started my own design business in Denmark and continued later on in Montreal from 2015 until 2019, while painting in between.

In 2019, I finally decided it was time to embrace my old passion for Art, by committing fully into abstract painting. Now, it finally feels like the circle is complete.

Over the years, I have participated in and organized several Art and Design exhibitions in Odense and Copenhagen, Denmark and a few online exhibitions in Quebec.

If you have any questions or are looking for an original piece of abstract art, you are very welcome to reach out. I am also open for studio visits; just notify me in advance. Thank you!
