Tré lífsins.
Tré lífsins, er eins konar kort af sálarlífi mannsins, þetta er viðfangsefni sem margir listamenn hafa tekið fyrir. Sálarlífið er uppspretta allra tilfinninga og hugmynda hjá manninum og miðað við hvernig menn hafa hugsað sér sálina er eðlilegast að setja hana upp sem tré. Fyrst þegar ég byrjaði að vinna með þetta viðfangsefni skildi ég ekkert í viðfangsefninu og var útkoman eftir því, ég vann meira úr hugmyndum annara og ákveðnum mýtum og klisjum, núna seinni árin hef ég farið meira inná við og skoðað sálarlífið þannig, einnig hefur Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi stofnandi Sahajayoga getað gefið mér skilning á þessu fyrirbrigði. Myndlistin á ekki að gefa bein svör að mínu áliti, hún er frekar til að vekja í manni guðdómin og að leiða mann að vötnunum.
Tree of Life.
The tree of life, is a kind of map of the soul of man, this is a subject that many artists have been working on. The soul is the source of all the emotions and ideas of the human being, and considering how people have thought about the soul the most logical way is represent it as tree. At first when I started working on this subject, I did not understand anything about the soul how it works, I worked more on certain myths and cliches. In recent years I have gone more inward to look at my soul, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi founder of Sahajayoga can given me an understanding of this phenomenon. The artwork as such should not give direct answers at my opinion, it is rather to wake up the goddess and to lead a man to the lakes.

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.
