The Danish artist Ole Aakjær only discovered his passion for watercolor art seven years ago and now he has been invited to exhibit his art in China – something he almost did not think was possible for an artist without an academic background. To Danish media Jydske Vestkysten, Ole Aakjær talks about how his art was discovered by a small Chinese woman in New York.
Before becoming an artist, the 58-year-old Danish native had a long career in the advertising industry but by pure coincidence, he discovered during his summer vacation in 2014 that he found peace by making watercolor art. A few months later, he settled his company to dedicate himself to art.
