I was born in Iceland 1965 and raised and brought up in Garðabær, a small town next to Reykjavik. In the year 2000 I moved to France and have been living in Brittany since then.
After having worked several years in various positions related to my education, I decided in 2007 to devote myself to my lifelong passion, namely painting. I work with acrylic and mixed media. Often I blend the painting with various materials such as sand, stones, pastes and or gels. I like to play with colours, shapes and textures in order to create different effects, have big reliefs and lots of volume.
The sources of my inspiration are nature and culture of my homeland, Iceland. My recent achievements suggest Icelandic volcanoes, lava, fire, ice and snow. I try to capture the attention of the viewer to invite him on a trip into a different world full of surprises and mystery.
For all further information do not hesitate to contact me.

Comments:
Klara's paintings are made of different “materials”, for example sand, stones, and gels mixed with acrylic, and lures us into the atmosphere of her native Iceland, mixing together snow and fire, the light from the sky and the blackness of the lava fields. Her universe is, mostly, at the frontier of the abstract and of the figurative. Sometimes letters are found in her paintings. The word then appears as a link between two cultures, between two universes which, in the hands of this artist, are brought together to the point of fusion.
An astonishing harmony exudes from her works, a distinct calm and serenity… a bit like when looking out to the sea from the shores of Belle-Ile or when one finds oneself lost in the wild endlessness in Iceland.
Patrick DEMELLIER, Manager of “Un temps pour l’Art”
The paintings by Klara, an Icelandic artist, are special. I have followed her work for some time and her creative potential is very interesting in its innovation as well as her way of treating her work. Through her painting one can sense all the mystery of her Iceland which she expresses with great sensitivity. The power of fire and water is perceived in it as a complaint, as a cry and it is beautiful.
She is an artist of the future and her works must emerge rapidly in order to reach beyond her own frontiers.
