About the artwork

This stretch of beach near the town of Vik on the south coast of Iceland is a place of wild and dramatic beauty. Waves of the Atlantic Ocean meet the coast and the black sand beach, often with tremendous force. At any time of the year and in any light, this is a place of great beauty that will remind people that nature always prevails in Iceland. My favourite weather is exactly the same as on this motif: a dense coastal fog, which wraps the scenery in a monochrome light and sometimes only briefly highlights rocks, birds and waves from the fog. There's something threatening, but at the same time calming about it, especially when you're the only one on the beach, which is possible in the off-season.
