🎨 MKN / Maria K. Nielsen

I paint to reflect, express, and evolve.

My work explores the inner world through expressive faces, raw marks, colour and contrast — where emotion, identity and transformation become visual.

Welcome to my visual universe. taken in MKN by @mkn_dk

One final touch ✨🔥

Freshly varnished and now drying before heading off to its new home. Another piece of new beginnings, ready for its next chapter. 🖤 by @mkn_dk

How do you thank a friend for opening her home to you? By creating a painting… and somehow managing NOT to splatter paint all over her apartment. 😏🎨🔥

This piece became something deeply personal to me. A reflection of an old version of myself slowly fading away, while something new, stronger and more alive begins to grow.

And somehow, it tells her story too.

A new home. A new chapter. A reminder of rebirth, resilience and the power of becoming.

Because even from the darkest places, something beautiful can grow. 🖤✨

From darkness comes light. From endings come beginnings.

Post of the finished painting will be shared soon 💀 taken in Copenhagen by @mkn_dk

I always find a way to paint.

Right now, life looks a little different. I’m somewhere between what was and whatever comes next — but somehow, I keep finding small spaces to create in.

Today it was my friend’s little terrace, the afternoon sun, my paints… and LIMINAL ready to become something new.

Maybe that’s what I’m learning too:
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin again.
Sometimes you just need a little space, some light, and the courage to keep creating. ✨

Grateful for kind people, temporary places, afternoon sun — and for art always giving me somewhere to go. ❤️ by @mkn_dk

MAKING SPACE

UNTIL OCTOBER 31 🔥

Sometimes making space for what comes next means letting go of what came before.

I’m entering a new chapter — personally, creatively and with my art — and I’ve realised just how many original works are currently waiting in storage instead of living on someone’s walls.

So for a limited time, I’m releasing a selected collection of original MKN artworks at 50% of their original price.

Not because these works mean less to me. They each belong to a chapter, an idea or a feeling that mattered enough for me to paint it.

But paintings are made to be experienced — not stored away.

I would much rather see them become part of someone else’s home, story and next chapter while I make room for mine.

MAKING SPACE · Selected originals 50%
Available at mkndk.com
While the selected works remain. 🖤

Original artworks only. One of each. by @mkn_dk

MOMENTS FROM FRIDAY THE 4TH OF SEPTEMBER 🖤✨

One of my favorite parts of the launch at @inkfinity.dk was seeing the interest in my artworks finding a new life as patches to wear — but even more, all the conversations and personal stories they opened up.

Art has always been about more than what I create. It’s about what you see, feel and recognize in it.

Thank you to everyone who stopped, asked questions, shared a story, tried a patch, explored the artworks or simply joined the creative energy of the evening. ❤️

So many different people. So many different stories. And so many ways to express them.

From artwork to patch — and from my story to yours.

Thank you for making Friday such a special one. 🖤✨ taken in InkFinity Studio by @mkn_dk

WEAR YOUR STORY - THE LAUNCH 🤍

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch! It was incredible to see you experience the concept, try on the jackets, and create your own personal expressions through interchangeable patches, art, and designs by our tattoo artists.

The collaboration between I AM × InkFinity × MKN is about more than just a jacket - it’s about wearing your story and making it truly your own.

Couldn’t make it to the launch? WEAR YOUR STORY is now available at InkFinity Studio in City2. Stop by, explore the collection, and create your own unique look.

Your jacket. Your artists. Your story.

WHAT A NIGHT! 🖤✨

Still smiling after our I AM × InkFinity × MKN launch!

A huge thank you to everyone who came by, brought your curiosity, explored the jackets and patches, talked tattoos and art, laughed and helped turn the studio into exactly what we hoped for — a space full of creativity, individuality and good energy.

Seeing fashion, ink and art come together was one thing — seeing YOU become part of it made it something completely different. ❤️

Thank you to everyone involved in making it happen!

Here’s a little glimpse of the people, moments and energy from the night. 📸 More pics and videos to share. Write me if you wish to be tagged or have them sent 🙏🏻

Different expressions. Different stories. One creative community.

Thank you for being part of it 🥳 taken in InkFinity Studio by @mkn_dk

NEW WORK ✨

She never asked for permission.
She never waited to feel ready.

She knew it was a feeling —
and a decision.

A new painting about that moment when something inside you shifts. When you stop waiting for certainty, approval or the perfect timing… and simply choose to move.

Ready to be exhibited — and soon available on my website.

Original artwork
120 × 100 × 3 cm
Acrylic on canvas

More of her story soon. 🖤

FROM CANVAS TO PATCH. 🎨 → 🧥

My ELEMENTS series is taking on a new form.

Each artwork carries its own story — Earth, Water, Fire, Air & The Fifth Element, Soul — and now these pieces have been transformed into patch designs made to be worn on the I AM Jacket.

The original paintings have all been exhibited at InkFinity Tattoo Studio, and over the coming days I’ll be sharing more of the thoughts, symbolism and inspiration behind each one.

But to experience ELEMENTS beyond the screen, come see the original artworks in person. 🖤

September 4 · 16:00–20:00
📍 InkFinity Tattoo Studio, Tåstrup

I’ll be there sharing the stories and inspiration that brought these pieces to life.

Art to see. Stories to feel. Patches to wear.
