CAMILLE SKAGEN is a multidisciplinary Vancouver artist with Danish origins. Based in the forest of Val-David (QC), her focus is on conveying authenticity & beauty as a form of self-care.
Her one-of-a-kind hand-built pieces are a reflection of her own journey, not one of perfection, but one of self-discovery. Tangible objects born from the act of acceptance and surrender.
By bringing one of SKAGEN’s pieces into your life, you're inviting a moment of peace and a reminder of your own inner beauty.
Each piece is a celebration of the inner peace that exists only when immersed in the making; it is a testament to the joy found when the spirit is finally unburdened from resistance.
To hold one of her pieces is to hold the residue of a boundless, unwavering inner joy.
These vessels provide sanctuary in a world that too often overlooks how the sunlight spills into a home through the cracks of its existence.
INTIMACY & LIGHT
Her functional art is grounded in a creative philosophy inspired by the Skagen Painters’ colony—a movement synonymous with finding profound beauty in intimate, everyday scenes and capturing luminous light even in the darkest or most mundane of human moments.
AUTHENTIC SUBJECTIVITY
Like the original Modern Breakthrough, her pottery is a deliberate act of authentic subjectivity—a break from expectation and a commitment to genuine self-expression. The resulting pieces come from a place where inspiration is allowed to flow free from judgment or fear.
CONTEMPLATIVE VALUE
Much like the Skagen aesthetic, her work is designed to evoke the spirit of Hygge (Danish coziness and wellness). By positioning her vessels as sculptural forms for contemplation, they provide sanctuary in a fast-paced world that too often overlooks how the sunlight spills into a home through the cracks of its existence.
