MATHILDEJUEL
Mathilde Juel (1980) is a Danish contemporary artist driven by an untamed vision of what art can become.
Working across multiple media, she currently gravitates toward glazed clay and sculptural forms. Her practice often pays tribute to the very tools of artistic creation — brushes, pencils, pastels — elevating them from instruments to subjects in their own right.
Her work lingers at the threshold between creation and creator, transforming the instruments of art into tactile, almost devotional forms.

About_
Mathilde Juel does not position her work as slogan or manifesto. Yet her practice inevitably inhabits a political dimension. When she monumentalises the tools of art-making — brushes, pencils, pastels — she engages a lineage from which women have historically been excluded or erased. The gesture is quiet, but it is structural: to claim material, space, and scale is to claim authorship.
Her work insists on presence. And in a field where presence has long been unevenly distributed, that insistence is political
