This exhibition features paintings I have been working on over the past year. They are all painted on paper with watercolour and acrylic paint.

For the past few years, I have been attending Yoga Nidra classes. These classes are on Fridays at the Yoga Shala, under the guidance of Stefán Atli Thoroddsen. It is a lying-down yoga where the teacher guides a meditation.

Towards the end of the meditation, one usually embarks on a journey where the teacher evokes images of a particular world. Most often, it is a world of beauty and nature.

Attending these classes has enabled me to bring out images that are freer from my own perception and thoughts on beauty.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hjörtur Hjartarson (b. 1961) studied, among other places, at the MHÍ from 1992 to 1996 and at the University of Granada from 1996 to 1997. He has held numerous solo exhibitions around the world and has also taken part in many group exhibitions throughout his career.

A special exhibition opening will be held on Sunday, 20th July from 14:30-17:00, and everyone is most welcome!

In this exhibition are paintings I have made in the last year. They are all made with watercolour and acrylic paint on paper.

In recent years, I have attended Yoga Nidra classes. These classes are held on Fridays at Yoga Shala, guided by Stefán Atli Thoroddsen. The practitioner lies on the floor for the duration of the class and the teacher leads a meditation. At the end of the meditation, a journey begins, through a world of beauty and nature. By attending these classes, I have been able to create paintings that are freer from my own perception and thoughts on beauty.

I hope you enjoy the paintings.
