Welcome dear friend, to the ‘Dare to dream big’ podcast. My name is Anastasia Dimitriadou and in these sessions I invite you to join me and my amazingly creative guests for some raw, unedited conversations about what it really takes—behind the scenes—to make your dreams come true.

Today I want to introduce you to the beautiful and talented Christiane Spangsberg.

Christiane is a born artist who started drawing at an early age and ultimately taught herself, never having gone to art school. Over the years she developed her signature style the one line drawings which she is now known for.

Drawing for Christiane is a tool to explore her inner world of thoughts and feelings which she then translates into often giant abstract pieces of art.

Her work is not only popular on instagram but has also been shown for example in galleries as Sydney, London, New York, Paris and Copenhagen.

In this conversation, we talk about claiming the identity of being an artist, we talk about her early journey when the first work she sold were drawings of Mickey Mouse and how she then gained more and more confidence of selling her work to higher prices.

We talk about how she developed her own style and how she slowly but surely listened more and more to herself which has now turned into a strong belief in herself.

We talk about how she grew her instagram account and how she got work at various places around the world what she does on exhibitions.

I love how Christiane acknowledges her own talent and how she owns it but also openly talks about the struggles and the down sides of the job.
