Mai-Britt Wolthers is a Danish artist based between Santos, Brazil and Geneva, Switzerland. Working across painting, sculpture, video, and printmaking, her practice revolves around the relationship between form and color—balancing abstraction and figuration in compositions that often feel both intuitive and meticulously constructed. Her work draws on a deep engagement with nature, particularly the lush, dense landscapes of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, filtered through a poetic lens shaped by memory, dream, and sensation.

Over the years, Wolthers has developed a visual language that moves fluidly between the organic and the architectural. Fragments of structures appear alongside fluid gestures, creating spaces that feel at once grounded and imaginary. Her palette often leans toward earth tones and soft, layered hues, evoking natural decay, regeneration, and transformation. Rather than representing the natural world directly, her works suggest it—tracing its presence in texture, rhythm, and atmosphere.

Recent solo exhibitions include A Cor Divagante at Portas Vilaseca Galeria in Rio de Janeiro (2023), Equações at Centro Cultural São Paulo (2014), and Hileia at Centro Cultural dos Correios in Rio de Janeiro (2010). She has also participated in group shows such as the X Bienal Nacional de Santos (2006), the XI Bienal do Recôncavo in Bahia (2011), and I’m Rosa at Lamb Arts in London (2016). Her work is held in several public collections, including the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Mato Grosso do Sul and the municipal collection of Gribskov, Denmark.

Wolthers’ practice is rooted in attentive observation and quiet transformation—inviting viewers into subtle, layered encounters with the natural world and the interior landscape of memory.
