My Art Portfolio

Here are some of my art adventures of recent years. They are mostly exhibitions and music.
I will be adding works, both unseen and seen artworks.
I have also more artworks in my Gallery and Webshop.

[A Journey of Iceland] 2024

The first exhibition A Journey of Iceland – From Darkness to Light was opened in November 2024 in Reykjavík. It is a collaboration between poet Erin Boggs, artist Einar Örn Benediktsson and composer Kaktus Einarsson.

[Portaits in Pencil] 2024

I put up a small exhibition with pencil drawings in Smekkleysa in Reykjavik. The drawings are also on siberia.is so these can be viewed in both places. // Ég setti upp litla sýningu með blýantsteikningum

[Örn&Orn Spring is here!] 2024

This exhibition is the team work of Einar Örn and Davíð Örn. The vernissage was in May 2024 in Smekkleysa Shop in Reykjavik. It will be there until mid June 2024. The work is mixed media.

Some art is available in The Gallery and Shop

And now the music.

Music has been an integral part of my life. Ghostigital is a band with two members, me and Curver Thoroddsen. We started to work together at the turn of the century. Our practice has been no practice as we work very sporadically together. Below is a sample of what we have done.
