About
My name is Lina Rosé Saxtorph
​
I am a self-taught artist and illustrator, born in 1998 in Copenhagen, Denmark. I study Mesoamerican Languages and Culture at the University of Copenhagen and in my art I take great inspiration from the colourful stories and cultures of Mesoamerica. You can visit the gallery and read about each art piece and their sources of inspiration.
​
I have been working as a professional artist since 2018 where had the pleasure of getting to exhibit my art as part of the publication of the book De Unge Skaber initiated by Elizabeth S. L. Holstein. In 2021 I published my first comic book Anepantla: I Regngudens Tempel, which the first part of a trilogy set in Prehispanic Mexico, with the second part being out in spring of 2024! Anepantla: I Regngudens Tempel won the 2022 Claus Deleuran Award for best Danish debut. You can read more about the series and my creative process in the Anepantla section on this site.
​
My art has also been featured in the exhibition Danish Comics on New Adventures at the Bolton Central Library in Manchester in (June 2024), as well as the Art-Bubble exhibition at the Comics Art Museum in Belgium (December 2023 - January 2024).

I take commissions and sell original artwork, so if you are interested, do not hesitate to get in touch!
