Jens Peder Søndberg

Jens Peder Søndberg (Danish: Søndberg) (born 15 July 1973, Randers, Denmark) is an artist based in Copenhagen.

Soendberg studied art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1999-2005. The year after his graduation he conducted his first solo exhibition, RIO DE JANEIRO, at Gallery Ebbesen also located in Copenhagen. Søndberg has also contributed to well over a dozen other exhibitions.

For the past five years Søndberg has worked with the themes of water and motion, drawing upon the artistical tradition of the stormy seas, "La Tempesta di Mare", in European Baroque and Romantic art. In Søndberg's modern or postmodern expression however, these themes become a joint symbol of transformation. A message conveyed by the recurrence of the same maritime settings in different states of motion and augmented by the ghastly appearance of non-aquatic elements, internally similar in substance but different in shape.
