Bjørn Wiinblad was one of Denmark’s most diligent artists. Painter, designer and artist of ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles and graphics. His work has been widely shown in Europe, first in the United States of America in 1954, and in Japan, Australia and Canada in 1968.

He has been described as an artist with a thousand faces because he kept reinventing himself so that he could find new places and new materials to decorate. Bjørn Wiinblad’s joy of creating was eclectic. He painted oriental, opulent ladies and quirky fabled animals – and spread joy, magic and imagination among the people at a time when minimalism was at its most dominant.

Wiinblad’s brush swept into every nook and cranny of his art, and his urge to decorate kept him at the brush for life. His unstoppable craving for creativity, his opulent oriental style and boundless talent made him a world artist like no other in Denmark, and today the tale of the cheerful multi-talented artist is celebrated in Bjørn Wiinblad’s authentic magical world and in a modern, functional style.
