Lisbeth Lunda
Lisbeth Lunda (born 1967 in Broenderslev, Denmark) is an educated art director with 25+ years’ experience in the advertising industry after which she changed gear. She is a graphic designer, a digital artist and now in full bloom as a self-taught painter with a focus on big-framed acrylics.
Lunda is a figurative artist who creates works that both challenge and inspire.
Her work explores human emotions and relationships through colors, shapes, and textures, and her approach to art is deeply personal, driven by a desire to communicate what is often difficult to put into words.
The ICONs series, painted in 2023 and 2024, honors women who have lost something—life or opportunities—simply because they were women.
The series features portraits of historical figures such as Elizabeth I, Mary Jane Ginger, who was murdered by Jack the Ripper, and Hildegard of Bingen.
Each woman in ICONs reflects the loss they experienced while also celebrating their strength and resilience.
The series is a tribute to these women and their untold stories.
In 2025, she began a new series, Female Thoughts, which explores the inner existential thoughts and emotions people experience in an increasingly chaotic and intangible world.
Through her works, she seeks to give a visual voice to internal conflicts and reflections that shape human existence.
She works with acrylic & mixed media on canvas, as well as on paper, and always incorporates gold leaf as a signature element, which has become one of her artistic trademarks. Her art is an invitation to reflection, contemplation, and new perspectives in a world that is constantly changing.

Insomnia
What I wouldn’t give for a quiet mind
A good night sleep with sorrows behind
The trouble of the world left for someone else
Ignoring the twitters, whatever they tell

In 2017, Kim Wall was murdered and most bestially dismembered and thrown into the sea, from a submarine, just hours after she had stepped aboard, to write an article about the captain/owner. In 2022, Mia is also raped, dismembered and buried deep in the forest after she gets into a car after a night out.
Both stories hit me so hard that I cried over the terrible fate of these two young beautiful women and just couldn't get them out of my mind. And one sentence kept running around in my head. "Just because they were women!" This destiny became theirs, just because they were women. And then it hit me; history is full of these women. Women whose fate was sealed by their gender. Women who lost their lives and opportunities for the sole reason that they were women.
ICON's is the story of these women.
About Lisbeth Lunda
Lunda has opened a door to her inner universe for the world to see.
A universe that reveals a lifetime of impressions that have been tucked away in remote corners of her mind. Fueled by her interaction with nature, music – and people around her. Processed by a creative and ultra perceptive soul. And now they’re out in the open. Captured and converted to people and animals. So still, yet so alive and with a vulnerability that touches even the toughest viewer. The paintings pull you in and make you go though an emotional turmoil, ignited by a common reference. Lunda’s feelings are, in fact, your own feelings. Her experience becomes your own. Because you have been there too. You know it, the instant you connect with the person in the frame. That person becomes you. Disturbing, yet liberating. You know that you’re not alone with those feelings anymore. Everything will be all right.
The project was ‘See-soul-sound’ (2020 - 2021) created in collaboration with Kasper Eistrup, the frontman of the Danish alternative rock band Kashmir.
In this universe, the title of every painting corresponds to a Kashmir song, and the experience exploring the music and the lyrics together with the deep expressions of the vibrant creatures in the picture transfers the spectator into a whole new universe through a powerful symbiosis.
Lunda Lunda currently lives and works in Copenhagen, and in her contryhouse in Gilleleje, where she can get really close to the nature.
