about

Nils Brakchi has worked as a self-taught painter since 1998 having spent most of his life before then drawing as a hobby.

Many of Brakchi’s works draw on inspiration from his extensive visits to Morocco, Southern France and the Caribbean. Most frequently, however, Brakchi prefers to paint from memory.

Seen as a whole his body of work expresses a desire to explore the limits of figurative painting. His works span from the small, simple and spontaneously executed sketches to large scale elaborate canvases. Brakchi continuously explores new materials and means of expression. His works has also adorned several record and magazine covers.

Brakchi was born in 1968 and grew up in the suburb town of Hoejby, Denmark. He lives in Amager, Copenhagen.
