Sigling eða Ferðaþrá.
Siglingin er eitt af uppáhalds viðfangsefnum mínum í málaralistini, það er ekki vegna þess að ég stundi siglingar að kappi, sem ég mundi örugglega gera ef ég væri ekki sjóveikur.
Ég held að þetta sé frekar lýsing á því sem gerir okkur mennsk: þráin. Þetta fyrir brigði sem við skiljum ekki en spilar kanski stærri rullu í lífi okkar en nokkuð annað, ég óska ykkur öllum lukku í glímuni við þrána.
Cruising or a desire to travel.
The cruising is one of the favorite topics in my painting, it is not because I groaned sailing race, I would definitely do if I was not seasick.
I think this is rather the feature what makes us human: our desire. This phenomena which we do not understand and maybe play a bigger role in our lives than anything else, I wish you all success in dealing with with your desire.

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.
