Mads Rafte Hein (b. 1977) lives and works in Roskilde, Denmark. His works focus on presenting a broad range of interiors, created in a style that is very specific to his oeuvre. He is highly accomplished in painting rooms filled with decorations, still lifes bursting with details, and arrangements brimming with pastel colours. He finds inspiration throughout visual culture, drawing from photography, Danish Golden Age paintings, collages, books, videos, and old movies. His recent paintings are colourful and vibrant, with a recurring palette of bright pink, yellow, and turquoise. They are infused with contrast, combining objects, scenes, and references from different eras and centuries. He has achieved the title of Graphic Designer from Copenhagen Technical College in the Graphic Department. In addition, he has been taught by renowned artists such as Grethe Bagge, Bjørn Poulsen, Peter Carlsen, and Peter Nansen Scherfig. He has exhibited internationally in Denmark, Germany, Taiwan, Austria, Sweden, and the United States, and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Denmark, including three times at Charlottenborg’s Spring Exhibition and at the Artists’ Autumn Exhibition at Den Frie, Copenhagen. Among his recent exhibitions are Seattle Art Fair, Sobering Galerie, Seattle, USA (2025); Summertime 25 (Group Exhibition), Galleri Christoffer Egelund, Copenhagen, Denmark (2025); Small Dramas (Solo Exhibition), Galerie Filser & Gräf, Munich, Germany (2025); Art & Design Tegernsee, Galerie Filser & Gräf, Tegernsee, Germany (2025); XMAS25 (Group Exhibition), Galleri Christoffer Egelund, Copenhagen, Denmark (2025); ELEFANTEN I RUMMET, Psykiatrifonden, Copenhagen, Denmark (2026); Art Karlsruhe, Galerie Filser & Gräf, Karlsruhe, Germany (2026); and San Francisco Art Fair, Sobering Galerie, San Francisco, USA (2026).
