Það er ekkert vit í því að gera það að ævistarfi að mála myndir, þetta er allt í lagi margir gera þetta og líf þeirra virðist vera alveg eðlilegt að öðruleyti.
Verra er að maður er alltaf að reyna að botna eitthvað í útkomuni, sem er líka allt í lagi það tekst ekki, enda mundi það skemma töfrana sem, þurfa að vera í listinni.
Ég ákvað samt að gera smá tilraun til að gefa einhvers konar mynd af ferlinum á facebook, en það var einn af hornsteinum Nýjamálverksins að færa listina til fólksins, en bernsku brek mín í listinni lágu á þeim slóðum á níuna áratugnum.
It’s make no sense to spend a lifetime to paint pictures, but it’s okay many people do this and their life seems to be quite normal mostly.
But ok it does not work anyhow, as it would damage the magic most important part of the art. Worse is that you’re always trying to fix something that’s in the end.
I still decided to have some overview on Facebook with older works in July. but it was one of the cornerstones of the New wave painting in the 80s, to bring the art to the people, but it is my background in the art.

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.
