My name is Mie Burchardi. I live in Copenhagen, where I study to become an architect.
I have always been extremely interested in drawing. May be because I was raised by a mom with a severe ear injury, causing her to hear all sounds 7 times louder than reality - I had to be a quiet child. Or may be I just enjoyed being in my own world of concentration. Either way, I spent endless afternoons with a pencil in my hand, coloring skies blue and left clouds paper white.
I ended up drawing extremely precisely, as especially the pencil drawings exhibit. I drew this way for many years, always with a slight feeling of copying. I knew the drawings were impressive technically, but they were not personal interpretations.
I attended the School of Architecture in Copenhagen in August 2008. Here, I was fascinated and challenged by their Croquis courses - croquis is the art of drawing the human body in varying tempi, be it 10 minutes, or 30 seconds. As you could imagine, I had a hard time here, until I learned to unleash my perfectionism and draw only what I saw, not caring about the result. Ironically, I liked the drawings so much that I have been working through these inspirations ever since.
I will try to update this web page whenever I feel to have created something worth showing. I hope it can be to interest or even inspiration for you.
