Art for little people
with big worlds
Works created to be moved, combined
and gain new meanings as
the child grows
The Story Behind Evig
Evig Atelier is a passion project created by two friends, Anna Soo Jung Barbré and Josephine Folkmann Jürgensen. In our small atelier in Østerbro, we create hand-painted artworks designed to live on as the children's stories and everlasting memories of their childhood home.
With Evig, we want to include children in the storytelling. For example, they can interact with the artworks and move them around as they please without disrupting the narrative unfolding in the pictures.
Evig is a universe in constant transformation, while at the same time being eternally connected. It is an unframed story created in collaboration with the child.
Based on conversations with, among others, child psychologist and institute director Jytte Mieckle, the Evig universe was also created with the aim of providing parents with an artistic tool to support their child's imagination and development.
We hope that Evig can help create space for an even more intimate conversation between child and adult.
Evig will continuously grow and expand its universe.

It is from this memory that the vision behind Evig stems: To create strong, artistic elements for the childhood home that awaken the imagination, and to create memories that you take with you for the rest of your life.
The childhood memory
Anna has a BA in textile design and a background in the fashion industry. She was born in South Korea and raised in Denmark. It is her dual heritage that drives her to create spaces where elements and universes can live in seamless harmony with one another, no matter how they are put together.
Combined with her background in the fashion industry and passion for storytelling, hand-painted prints, and textile patterns, the Evig universe has come to life: A universe where different stories can live in eternal connection and harmony with one another, no matter how the works are combined.
With Evig, Anna wishes to create engaging art that invites children to explore another world and to be co-storytellers in the story.
Evig is not only the meeting of different universes; it is a contribution and a wish to create a more intimate encounter between child and adult.
