Stundum er hringt í mann og spurt hvort maður hafi áhuga á smá verkefni, sumt hentar manni ekki eða maður treystir sér ekki til að leysa á viðunandi hátt, en í þetta skipti virtist það vera spennandi áskorun fyrir mig.
Þegar ég var spurður hvort ég vildi mála í mynd af Eiganda fyrirtækisins Würth varð ég svo lítið hissa þetta var gömul upplituð ljósmynd en sá hluti myndarinnar þar sem andlitið er var nokkuð heillegur en heildin var kannski ekki spennandi, það var bent á mig því ég hef verið að vinna viða að mála í ljósmyndir en þó með öðrum hætti sé.
Ég er auðvitað ekki dómbær á eigin verk, en ég vona að allir séu sáttir.
It is not so often you get call and somebody ask if you are interested in some task, sometimes you do not like the idea or you think you can not solve it properly.
But this time it seems an exciting challenge for me. When I was asked if I wanted to paint in to picture of the owner of the German company Würth Group.
It was an old photo, but that part where the face was pretty good, the overall was maybe not exciting, it was asked to do this, because I have Be working on painting in photographs, but by other means i I suppose.
Of course, I’m not a judge of my own work, but I hope everyone is satisfied.

Lives and work as an artist in Reykjavik.
Alter ego DADILISTO
I was born in Reykjavik: May 12, 1954. Grow up Kópavogur close to Reykavik, which was mostly built by refugees, who were not allocated land in Reykjavík for political reasons. Good time for children to play in half builded houses, or go to a small shelter and listen to the communist.
When I was 12 y.o. I decided to become a painter and, as my father resisted, it would not turn back.
After I have learnd Carpentry to make my father happy, I went to The school of Arts and Crafts, and ended up learning experimental art and new art media, I could take all the risks, I had lernd very practical profession to be able to make a living. I did not get started with creating so called “New media”, but began do painting with the good old oil colours. I was a part of movement in the eighties called “New Painting”. I then studied in Amsterdam for a year, mostly of graphic printing, but that time was a great gift for me, since I started working as a professional and have done so mostly since 1983.
I’ve been very lucky! I was one of the first to do, so called “New Panting” in Iceland, this promotion drew attention and I started selling my art works and could make a living in a decent life, all the time until the lucky famous “collapse” of the banks in Ieland, but at that time people mostly have to use their money in pay-as-you-go debt created by our economic system in Iceland, probably one of the worst in the world.
After that crash, I have been doing some extra work: teaching, city walk with tourist and so on, I have alsow been having pepole visiting my studio with some home-made food. But also received a grants.gov support for big exhibition in Art museum: Kjarvalsadir in 2011. This period has been nice, always good to get new challenges especially if one manages to take advantage of them. I recently had an exhibition of Mokka Kaffi in Reykjavik hat was successful.
I have been doing Sahajayoga for many years and have volunteered to teach and introduce.
