Sonja Lillebæk

A Danish visual artist educated from Det Jyske Kunstakademi in 2003.

In her art, Sonja works with storytelling, often through video, sound, and text. She draws on lived experience, preferably her own and the world around her.
Her works always have a social perspective on themes such as power and class, but often with a humorous touch. Sonja uses humor to talk about difficult things in life because creates space when we look at ourselves and laugh a little at the self-righteousness we all carry around.

In Skagen, Sonja had a close collaboration with the local artist Janusz Walentynowicz, who helped her give form to some large glass installations, which have since been included in an exhibition in Copenhagen. While Sonja was in Skagen, she displayed a video work on FF's large silos at the harbor.
