Helena’s medium of choice is painting. There she interprets the mundane and everyday consumerism with a reference to digital airbrushing in a style that can be likened to a mix of realism and surrealism. Helena Margrét Jónsdóttir (b.1996) is a visual artist based in Reykjavík. She graduated from The Iceland University of the Arts in 2019 after having studied fine art at The Reykjavík School of Visual Arts and The Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag.
Recent solo exhibitions include Liquida (2021) at Plan X Art Gallery in Milan, Italy and A Ghost of Another Ghost (2021) at Hverfisgallerí. Helena also participated in the group show What it Seems – Reality on Canvas at Kjarvalsstaðir in 2020.
The D-Gallery exhibition series started in 2007 and invites emerging artists who are contributing to the development of the local contemporary art scene to hold their first solo exhibition in a public museum..
