La Poire

Behind La Poire is Anine Cecilie Iversen, artist and graphic designer based in Copenhagen. She started painting very early when her dad, an art teacher, introduced her to drawing and painting with watercolours. Growing up in a creative environment and always being oriented towards visual aesthetics, she continued the creative path, which led her to work as a graphic designer within creative and corporate spaces. However, in the recent years she felt a need to pursue and develop her artistic practice and love for painting by hand, and became a full time artist. Today, her original works and art prints are sold internationally.

Being fascinated by the perishable and ever changing, her work is a study in contrasting, vibrant colours, bold silhouettes, femininity and organic shapes. She takes inspiration from modern art, fashion, botanics, and finding nuances in aspects of colours, lights, inner feelings and thoughts. Her paintings of women seek to explore both the vulnerability and grace of the modern, fashionable human being.
