Born in Malmo (Sweden) 1972.
Lives and works in Stockholm.

Ranging from small, medium and larger sizes, each painting keep the same expressive power, balanced between the playful and the serious. The entire Jensen’s work has always been focused on this balance and the tension that it builts on the canvas, through a gestural abstraction rich in references to his surrounding.
In the latest works he develops a new language which recalls sounds and music: on a primarily light background, the line drawn by the graphyte moves on the surface in a cadenced and harmonious rhythm. The paintings are now at once soft and energic, also thanks to the use of bold colours which make the image even more dynamic.
Combining different materials and techniques such as graphyte, soft pastel and acrylic, the artist costructs complex structures where different moments and elements coexist, overlapping signs and colours. The final result is a layered composition that is hard to read and conveys a orderly chaos.
