Marie F
66 // Marie Flensborg is an illustrator and graphic designer from Denmark. Marie studied Visual Communication at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts – School of Design. She finds inspiration in ‘close ups’ in her surroundings, such as small objects from her city landscape. She is obsessed with shapes, colours and repetition, and she would love to see her designs covering large areas.

Cirkel Is My Friend V1
Part of a geometric series of eight. Marie felt it was important that the eight images could work together or all alone. She has a real ability for creating harmonious compostions.
Cirkel Is My Friend V5
All Marie’s images are created in Adobe Illustrator, and she tests many colours before she is happy with the combinations. Close inspection reveals tiny dots covering the background, and the use of transparent purple allows us to see the link between the circle and triangle.
Geo Confetti
Colourful translucent shapes are arranged in ordered rows, preventing the ‘confetti’ from becoming too chaotic.
