Jacoob Mathias
is a Danish artist, resident in the provincial town Naestved. We met him - and his daughter, Tilde - in his studio.

“There are so many squares in our lives. If you start thinking about it,
you will realize how many boxes we surround ourselves with all the
time. Windows, houses, tables, papers. You gotta ask yourself: Why? [Big
smile] So I began making things rounder, more organic. It gives a whole
new life, you know. And now it’s just obvious, when you see a rounded
canvas hanging on the wall. You feel like, that’s exactly how it should
be.”
“We all went on a vacation last summer. My girl, my boy, their mothers,
me. It went well. Not all peace and harmony, but it went well.”
“I had worked on this canvas for quite some time. Then it just came to
me, one morning. A friend of mine came by for a short visit, but I asked
her to lie down on the couch. I got going with some swift lines, you
know, when there’s not too much thinking. I try not to think too much
when I work. It’s her mom, actually.”
"You need to get one of this as well, all of it. 'Jac Mat Art Studio', that's the name I want people to remember."
(Sorry Jac)
"I'm ready to conquer the world now. From here."
