Rasmus Nilausen
Rasmus Nilausen is a painter whose work explores the complex relationship between language, identity, and art. Fluent in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Danish, Nilausen often feels that he belongs to none of them, describing this multilingual reality as leaving him with "no identity at all." For him, painting offers a way to transcend the limitations of traditional language, allowing him to communicate in a "wordless" form where he creates the rules.
Artist bio
Nilausen’s practice is rooted in the belief that painting itself is an autonomous language—one that actively involves the viewer. Instead of using text directly, he often incorporates symbols, leaving space for personal interpretation. This approach fosters a visual dialogue between artist and viewer, where the meaning of the work is shaped as much by the audience’s experiences as by Nilausen’s intentions.
