Work from the 66° series: ICELAND - The silences of the soul

This small-scale artwork features an Icelandic landscape, Herðubreið, a volcano located in the central-eastern part of the country, in the Highlands region. Often referred to as the "Queen of the Icelandic Mountains," Herðubreið reigns supreme in the Ódádahraun desert between Brædrafell mountain, the oasis of Herðubreiðarlindir, and the volcano Herðubreiðartötgl. This peak remains one of Iceland's most legendary peaks because it is difficult to access. In this work, the cool hues of the sky blend harmoniously with the earthy tones of the foreground, creating a striking contrast that immediately captivates the viewer. The fluid texture of the brushstrokes evokes an atmosphere of serenity and purity, amplified by the immaculate whiteness of the peak. Subtle shades of blue and gray depict a vast, endless sky, while earthy tones suggest a rocky, desert-like terrain. This painting is distinguished by its ability to convey a sense of both calm and natural grandeur. The visual impact lies in the balance between the simplicity of the composition and the complexity of the textures and shades, revealing a nature that is both formidable and calming.
