EINAR LÚÐVÍK ÓLAFSSON

BIOGRAPHY
Einar Lúðvík Ólafsson graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2020.
In his work, Einar offers a critical perspective on both society and painting: By transfiguring and recontextualizing historical art movements, he focuses on the human condition in the contemporary era. Exploring the human existence in its interconnectedness, lack of context, and absurdity, he draws on the rapidly ever-so-changing society that disables human reflection and inner contemplation.
Einar is currently based in Iceland.
