Sven-Ulrik Beck Burchard's work lives somewhere between fantasy and nostalgia. He tries to recall fragments of things he has seen, or thinks he has seen — and connect them to memories and feelings from his past.
The artist is often searching for places or situations that can recreate the emotions he felt as a child, especially the wonder of experiencing something for the first time. There’s a soft tension between the familiar and the mysterious that he is drawn to — a feeling of freedom, untouched by doubt or judgment which many of us miss.
His drawings usually begin with a mood, a shape, a color, or a small, strange memory. Sven rarely knows what they mean when he starts. They unfold on their own, almost like messages from a quieter part of himself. If they leave behind a trace of something remembered, then perhaps they’re doing what they’re meant to. "For me, it’s about reconnecting with my inner child and creating from a place of play, curiosity, and freedom — without worrying about how things are “supposed” to be," he says.
