Born in 1941, Morten Skovmand is a painter and printmaker. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and is member of Kunstnersammenslutning Corner. 
Skovmand's paintings are a close combination of the colorful nature, a product of the transformation of primitive colors and forms into almost abstract shapes. 

 
Skovmand has always emphasized the importance of light in his works. The extension of lights and shadows, the simplification of complex forms, make his works strong contrasts. For him, the naturalistic point of view exists in the first place, but it can also transform reality into a spiritual scene, which can be meditative, quiet and peaceful, just like life itself.
