The works explore themes of nature and mythology, presenting imagery of blue-winged butterflies and stone-like creature figures that evoke ancient, mythical presence.
Steinvængr brings together the artistic visions of Matthías Rúnar Sigurðsson and Hjördís Gréta Guðmundsdóttir in a display where paintings and sculptures interact within the gallery space.

By combining distinct mediums, the artists create an immersive environment that prompts reflection on our relationship with the natural world and the fading remnants of ancient mysteries, offering a space where viewers can pause to appreciate small, quiet moments of discovery.
