Evla Hreiarsdottir was born in Iceland and studied at Iceland Academy of Arts. She does not focus on the most apparent aspects of the landscapes she documents. Rather, it is the “lines and shapes that appear in crumbling hills, broken basalt columns and weathered rocks” that attract her attention. She creates a body of work with the contours of abstraction, but one that also communicates a strong feeling of air, space and the outdoors.
