“When Mia-Nelle Drøschler is at her best, the reader is struck by how vile, uncomfortable, and repulsively sensitive it is to be human. It is when she points to our sensual connectedness to others, to the air, to nature, to the world – and to art. Along the way, something beautiful and original takes place.”

love love love thematizes inner conflicts, self-destruction, bad finances and conflict with the art world.
love love love! Is a hybrid work that mixes poems and illustrations, written and drawn by visual artist Mia-Nelle Drøschler. After 23 years in European cities, Drøschler moved to the countryside a year ago to a disused country house with a dream to write and continue making art. Now the stilettos from the red carpet in London have been replaced by clogs in the kitchen garden at Jungshoved in Denmark. In the poems, the reader meets her for vernissage, in her relationship and in her studio, where an inner critical voice continues to stand in the way of what might be within reach: love and success.
