Mogens Valeur first studied with Peter Rostrup Boyesen, and later attended the Copenhagen Art Academy. He subsequently trained at the Danish Royal Academy under Vilhelm Lundstrøm before moving, first to Italy and Morocco and then to India and Sri Lanka where, funded by his prestigious Nielsen scholarship (1952), he lived and painted for three years.
Over the course of a long career, Mogens Valeur exhibited widely and with success, including at the Charlottenborg Institute, and his work can be found in private and public collections.
Valeur's chosen subjects are seascapes and townscapes which he saturates with mood and represents in a reductive, albeit recognizable, form. His forms are built up of broad, luminous color surfaces, which he applies with energetic and painterly brushstrokes.
