Að horfa á málningu þorna.
Hugmyndir manna um listina og listamenn eru örugglega margskonar.
Meðan ég er að mála myndina veit ég í raun ekki útkomuna maður er ekki að hugsa um það meðan á ferlinu stendur og maður verður að bíða eftir að málningin þorni. Þegar maður byrjar á nýju verki setur maður það sem maður hefur verið að gera á bakvið sig og byrjar nýtt ferðalag á sama tíma er málningin að þorna, en engin veit í raun hvað gerist hjá listamanninum það eina sem hægt er að gera er að láta töfrana gerast, þetta er skrítin vinna og maður veit ekki einu sinni hvað gerist meðan málningin er að þorna.
Hér eru nokkrar sem eru að þorna en þær eru samt ekki alveg orðnar þurrar.
Watching the paint dry.
People’s ideas about art and artists are certainly diverse.
While I’m painting I do not really know the result, I do not think about it during the process and I have to wait for the paint to dry. When you start a new work, you put what you have been doing before behind you and start a new journey at the same time as the paint dries elswere, but no one really knows what happens inside the artist, the only thing that can be done is to let the magic happen, this is strange work and you do not even know what happens while the paint is drying.
Here new members of Icelandic art, that are still drying, but they are still not completely dry.

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.
