About
Jonna Pedersen is a visual artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her work moves between the figurative and the abstract, creating visual narratives where humour, ambiguity, and critical reflection intersect. Working like a cultural archaeologist, she uncovers layers of meaning embedded in everyday life, transforming familiar objects and cultural symbols into spaces for reflection on contemporary life, human relationships, and existence.
Working across painting, collage, glass, mixed media, lino prints, textiles, and drawing, Pedersen develops each project through the medium best suited to its ideas. While her materials vary, her practice is united by a curiosity about the spirit of the times and the subtle tensions between the personal, the social, and the cultural.
Pedersen holds a Master of Arts (MA) in Business, Language and Culture from the University of Southern Denmark and has studied at several private art schools. Since 2005, she has exhibited internationally and has received multiple national arts grants. Her work has been presented at Museum Ovartaci, Heerup Museum, JANUS – Museum of Contemporary Art, and Kunsthal Vejle and is represented in the Imago Mundi – Luciano Benetton Collection, Jens Olesen’s Collection, Rita Houmann’s Collection, Heerup Museum, and Museum Ovartaci.
