Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir graduated from Iceland University of the Arts, department of painting in 2000 and has since held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions both in Iceland and abroad.
The painting has always been Vilhjálmsdóttir’s terra firma. Her paintings are both figurative and abstract, in acrylic or oil and she has also exhibited ceramic work, collages, videos and performances. She is a searching artist. Since early in her career the woman and the power of rebirth have been a theme in her work. The woman is like a god in her own world, often seclusive, even distant and beautiful, mysterious and mournful. The color blue is also a potent tone in her work, which suggests poetic sorrow and the romance of loneliness. The artist ‘s eagerness, fire, strength and vulnerability changes with disciplined brushstrokes in creation on canvas and ultimately becomes a wish for peace and beauty in a complex world.
The exhibition Fairy Woman shows different sides of Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir ‘s art, where the radiance of the creation is in the forefront, art for arts sake.
Curator: Hrafnhildur Gissurardóttir.
