Bernt Santesson was born in Aalborg and considers life as his greatest source of inspiration. The Troll Church near Nibe in Denmark is his absolute favorite place. Bernt believes that treating people with courtesy is easier than the opposite, and words like meticulous, calm, and kind are often used to describe him. He is trained as a lithographic illustrator and graphic designer and currently runs Santesson Graphic Design Studio in Aalborg. Additionally, he has had a long career at various advertising agencies in Danish cities such as Copenhagen, Herning, and Aalborg. His preferred materials are not only paper but also wood and stone.
