Maria Fynsk Norup

Maria Fynsk Norup is a conceptual fine art photographer, living and working on the tiny island of Ærø in the southernmost part of Denmark. Maria primarily uses self-portraits as the medium for storytelling in her work, creating imagery that currently revolves around exploring femininity, the human-nature interconnection, and the right to a place in the world. Her inspiration is often drawn directly from dreams, emotions and past experiences, and her work can therefore vibrate with a dark undertone. Maria was originally trained in classical botany, and the the love for and inspiration from the plant world inevitably appears in the visual storytelling in her works. In the last couple of years Maria’s work has received several international awards, and her images have been exhibited both in Denmark and abroad.
