Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Originally a student of piano, music theory, and composition, Birkemose went on to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Birkemose"s works are inspired by the New York School of painting and are famous for their hidden shapes, some of which take a lot of effort to discover. Examples of these shapes include demon-like creatures, mermaids, birds, and cats.
Since 1976 Paris has been Birkemose"s primary residence.
