The Team

Director and co-founder
Søren and René came up with the idea for Deep Forest Art Land. Today, Søren is responsible for both our day-to-day operations and the development of the forest. He works on strategy, finance, and partnerships.

Art Curator and Co-Founder
René and Søren co-founded Deep Forest Art Land in 2010. Today, René’s role is to ensure that the art in the forest is both of high quality and capable of engaging in a dialogue with the natural environment for which the works were created. René works closely with the artists who create works in the forest.
