Esben Hanefelt found favour with the Danes consciousness in the early 1990s with his illustrations for the Picture Bible. The book is published in more than 20 countries, and both Chinese and Americans have become acquainted with the colorful illustrator.  

Since then he has made countless colorful works. Nature is an integrated and ample element of Esben Hanefelt´s paintings and the wealth of details draws you on adventures in the universe of the painting. He has both illustrated tales like "The Little Mermaid" and the story of "Noah's Ark," but mostly he creates his very own stories with the brush.

"The stories are queuing up in my head, and the joy to tell is important to me. I want to contribute to that people are not historyless, "emphasizes Esben Hanefelt, who has worked as an artist full-time the last 16 years. During the years his talent has also spread to chruch decotations and design of three porcelain scuplutures for Royal Copenhagen, for which he in 2002 received a so-called Formland Price.
