Icelandic artist Tolli grew up next to the mountain Meðalfell. This has given him a close
relationship with nature both in his way of seeing life, but also in his artistic career. Being
Icelandic gives you a special bond with nature, and the mountains are the glue of the
Icelandic national soul and self-understanding.
Tolli has painted a series of works inspired by the rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar and
Kerlingarfjöll. The mountain landscapes appear open, raw, and vulnerable. Tolli gives us the
essence of Icelandic nature in both a material and spiritual sense. You feel the sensitivity in
the spontaneous, expressive strokes of paint that cover the canvas and the light that almost
transcends into a sacred explosion.
