Endalaus endir málverksins.
Þegar ég var ungur og var að hefja ferilinn var vinsæll frasi; „MÁLVERKIÐ ER DAUTT”
Ég er ekki sagnfræðingur og ekki sérfræðingur í samsæris kenningum en “endalok listarinnar” er auðvitað ekkert nema staðreynd.
Samt er ungt fólk ennþá að ljúka námi í listaháskólanum þar sem allt er kennt; listrænt og pólitískt kórrétt; þeir fara samt að mála málverk eins og engin sé morgundagurinn.
Það er eitthvert samband á milli hugar, handar og auga, sem gefur af sér einhvern veruleika; sem við köllum málverk, við virðumst hafa áhuga á að skoða þennan veruleika, þrátt fyrir nýja miðla, enda virðast þeir einnig leita að þessari mistík, sem finna má í gömlu miðlunum.

Last panting still lasting.
When I was young and starting the career was a popular phrase; “THE PAINTING IS DEAD”
I’m not a historian and not an expert in conspiracy theory, but the “end of the art” is of course nothing but a fact.
Still, young people are studying at the art academi where everything is taught rigth; Artistic and political correct; they still start painting like we just to do, like there’s no tomorrow.
There is a connection between the mind, the hand and the eye that gives rise to a new reality; Which we call paintings, we are keen to explore this reality, despite new media, as they also seem to intrested in similar mystical approach which can be found in the old media.

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.
