Heike Arndt’s work circles around human emotion. She creates images in which the viewers can recognise themselves or given situations from their everyday lives. Language plays an important role in her art and life. Although she speaks four languages fluently, she has a great interest in non-verbal and visual communication. She explores empathy without words.

Heike Arndt has worked in several places throughout the years, among them: Italy, Greenland, Ethiopia, China, as well as North and South America. Each of them ignited a new phase of creative work. Her choices of media are as fluid and diverse as her background. At the moment, she is dividing her time between her own practice and her work as a gallerist. Having settled in the countryside of Denmark and a dependance in Berlin, she builds a bridge between Berlin’s art scene and the northern cultural sphere.
