“We cannot experience the world as it is, but we can experience it as we are.”
Anita Cramer Corpas draws inspiration from what plagues our time but also inspires reflection and conversation. Her works are not meant to dictate but rather to invite the observer to engage in a dialogue where art serves as a language beyond words.”
The Five is a portrait series from 2023 in which Anita Corpas explores the faces of power in Danish politics. The series consists of five paintings of central political figures: Mette Frederiksen, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, Pia Olsen Dyhr, and Mattias Tesfaye.
Each portrait is painted with attention to the traces left by political decisions and personal narratives. The five works are interpretations of a moment in Danish democracy. The series is not a tribute, but a conversation — seeking to ask questions about the consequences of power, shifting ideals, and the human cost behind political roles.
The Holocene is characterized by a relatively stable climate, but it is also the era in which humanity has profoundly altered nature’s balance.
In My Note in Holosæn, contrasts between nature and culture are explored — traces of destruction alongside traces of life. Each work is a personal note, a visual reflection on the time we live in and the questions we face: What do we leave behind? What is lost? And what can re-emerge?
My Note in Holosæn is not an answer, but an open question. It is an attempt to capture a sense of both fragility and resilience, and to make the invisible present.
Two works accepted for the juried exhibition at Dronninglund Art Center (DKC) 2023, among 160 selected pieces out of 625 submissions.

Anita Corpas’ work as a visual artist revolves around the traces of humanity in the world — in nature, in society, and within our own bodies.
Across all her work, art is not an answer but a question. An invitation to look at power, at nature, at ourselves — and perhaps to discover that fragility and strength are always found side by side.
