Illum Christmas – 30 × 40 cm Copenhagen Christmas Painting
Illum Christmas is an original 30 × 40 cm Copenhagen Christmas painting, created in oil on canvas and inspired by the festive atmosphere of Copenhagen during the Christmas season.
The painting depicts a creative Christmas tree displayed inside the luxury handbag department of Illum, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic department stores. Instead of traditional Christmas ornaments, the tree is decorated with glamorous glittering handbags, creating a playful and unexpected Christmas display.
Real glitter has been incorporated into the original artwork, giving the handbags and festive details a sparkling three-dimensional quality. The combination of luxury fashion, Christmas decoration and Copenhagen city life creates a unique contemporary still life.
Copenhagen Christmas Painting Inspired by Illum
This Copenhagen Christmas painting captures the special atmosphere of Illum during the festive season, when elegant interiors and luxury fashion displays are transformed into spectacular Christmas installations.
The creative Christmas tree becomes the centre of the composition. Glittering handbags replace traditional decorations, creating a connection between Christmas tradition and contemporary fashion.
The real glitter used in the original painting adds an extra layer of texture and light. As the artwork catches the light, the glitter creates subtle reflections that cannot be fully reproduced in a photograph, making the original piece particularly special.
A Festive Copenhagen Still Life
Illum Christmas combines elements of still life painting, fashion and urban storytelling. Rather than depicting a traditional Christmas scene, the artwork focuses on a recognisable Copenhagen experience: visiting Illum and discovering its luxurious festive displays.
The elegant handbags, sparkling surfaces and Christmas tree create a sophisticated but playful atmosphere. The artwork celebrates the contrast between luxury fashion and the warmth and excitement of Christmas.
This Copenhagen Christmas painting is part of a collection of artworks inspired by everyday Copenhagen, iconic interiors and seasonal moments in the city.
