Bente Draiby Since 1992 practicing artpainter, with oilpainting as the prefered medium, where the human beings themselves are in focus. My starting point is real people , most often models, as objects. BACKGROUND: Graduated 1962 from the "Royal Academieof Fine Arts", Copenhagen. as architect and townplanner. It was just in time, where great visions became realities. From 1961 -78 I joined the planning of "New-towns" along Køge-Bugt, south of Copenhagen, and "Vestskoven", a very great wood, west of Copenhagen. Later on, I realized an old dream to be archaeologist and graduated 1988 from the University of Copenhagen as mag.art. in Nordic and European Prehistory. Since I have combined my two educations as a reconstructor of prehistoric and early medieval housing and artefacts. -Now painting is my principal engagement.
