In her artistic work, there is a desire to create a synthesis between a story and its visual appearance whether it is on canvas, stage or screen.
In order to create locations, the Designer / Fine Artist must possess a keen understanding of the story, where the goal is to bind the experience of being to physical places, by communicating spatial / dramatic sequences and artistic content, based on literary sources or concepts of performances, film or electronic media.
The visual content breaks down the wall between science and abstract art, as Birgitte researches in the fields of science, psychology, anthropology and different artforms, in order to generate her personal view points on what has and is happening in society.
She often comes up with complex, modern, yet timeless solutions, that people can relate to in different ways.
She has reached a high level of proficiency developing visual concepts for fine art, TV, film and video, performing art, advertising and interactive games.
