Description: Unknown Iceland of course is inspired by the iconic debut album cover from Joy Division “Unknown Pleasures”. The waves, originally based on an image of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919, become the shape of Iceland, and the title becomes “Unknown Iceland” referring to how this island is full of mysterious ancient tales, deserted places, and incredible scenaries all to discover.
Description: Þetta Reddast (pronounced thet-ta re-dust) means it's all going to work out in the end. It is a part of Icelandic culture, and a peculiar part of the “local knowledge”: but also extremely up to date because of the recent situation with the world pandemic first, and all the other troubles that keep affecting our world and our lives. It is a positive message, it is from Iceland, the land of the N-ice!
Description: The Greeks proposed the existence of five basic elements. Of these, four were the physical elements—fire, air, water, and earth—of which the entire world is composed. The fifth element, which goes by a variety of names, is more rarefied. Something you can't really define. Some call it Spirit. Others call it Aether or Quintessence (literally "the fifth element" in Latin). I call it Iceland. Iceland is the place where you can experience the Elements in their raw expression.
Description: Rowan is a common plant in Iceland and is another tree associated with the Norse god Thor. It is said to have protected him against a great flood. Rowan is perhaps the most magical of the trees, believed to be the tree of witchcraft and fairy magic and frequently used in magic potions.
Description: The shape of Iceland takes the place of the famous prism, as it actually behaves like one, reflecting light in million of rainbows pretty much all year around. The prism has also a meaning of divine, of enlightment and knowledge, and here probably still has, in the shape of Iceland, as getting to know it through traveling, and discovering its marvellous spots, is itself a great experience that many (including me) don’t manage to find the words for this wonder.
Description: We are all bewitched by the power and the rawness of the spectacular eruptions here in Iceland. I am trying to celebrate it in any media and technique I know! Watercolour are mainly used for soft and delicate drawings, but I challenged myself to let the power of lava express itself anyway.
Description: “Þetta Reddast” comes of course from the famous Icelandic phrase. Everything will work out ok: First of all is a part of Icelandic culture, it is peculiar and part of the “local knowledge”: but also extremely up to date because of the recent situation with the world pandemic. It is a positive message, it is from Iceland, and it has a catchy look because it has only 2 colours. The black sketch symbolizes the “problem” something with a rough shape all wrapped up in itself, that then resolve itself with Þetta Reddast.
