Margir kollegar mínir eru um þessar mundir að fara til Feneyja til að skoða myndlist. Ég fór hins vegar að fara til Cabella í Lígúríu til að fara í hugleiðslu og skoða sjálfið og það sem býr á bak við hugan. Það sem heillar mig einnig við Sahajayoga er m.a. hvernig maður getur ræktað hið sjálfsprottna í sér, það finnst mér eftirsóknarvert ef allt er afslappað og myndirnar verði til eins og af sjálfu sér.
Það var ekki tilviljun að Shri Mataji valdi þennan stað til að hafa höfuðstöðvar Sahajayoga henni fanst Ítalir að mörgileyti líkjast Indverjum, þar er María mey í hávegum höfð og Cabella er fornt aðsetur Kelta en keltar hafa um aldir skilið gildi gyðjunar þessa heilagakrafts sem er krafturin á bak við það aðtengja sig við guðdómin.
Many of my colleagues in the art, are currently going to Venice to view modern art. However, I went to Cabella in Liguria to meditate and establish my connection with the self and what is behind the mind. What also fascinates me with Sahajayoga is how to cultivate the spontaneously, I find it desirable if everything is relaxed and the pictures are made as by their own effort.
It was no coincidence that Shri Mataji chose this place to have Sahajayoga’s headquarters in Italy she had the feeling that the people there resemble Indians and in Italy Holy Mary is highly rated and Cabella is an ancient resident of Celtic people, but the Celtic have for centuries understood the value of Goddess power.
Lives and work as an artist in Reykjavik.
Alter ego DADILISTO
I was born in Reykjavik: May 12, 1954. Grow up Kópavogur close to Reykavik, which was mostly built by refugees, who were not allocated land in Reykjavík for political reasons. Good time for children to play in half builded houses, or go to a small shelter and listen to the communist.
When I was 12 y.o. I decided to become a painter and, as my father resisted, it would not turn back.
After I have learnd Carpentry to make my father happy, I went to The school of Arts and Crafts, and ended up learning experimental art and new art media, I could take all the risks, I had lernd very practical profession to be able to make a living. I did not get started with creating so called “New media”, but began do painting with the good old oil colours. I was a part of movement in the eighties called “New Painting”. I then studied in Amsterdam for a year, mostly of graphic printing, but that time was a great gift for me, since I started working as a professional and have done so mostly since 1983.
I’ve been very lucky! I was one of the first to do, so called “New Panting” in Iceland, this promotion drew attention and I started selling my art works and could make a living in a decent life, all the time until the lucky famous “collapse” of the banks in Ieland, but at that time people mostly have to use their money in pay-as-you-go debt created by our economic system in Iceland, probably one of the worst in the world.
After that crash, I have been doing some extra work: teaching, city walk with tourist and so on, I have alsow been having pepole visiting my studio with some home-made food. But also received a grants.gov support for big exhibition in Art museum: Kjarvalsadir in 2011. This period has been nice, always good to get new challenges especially if one manages to take advantage of them. I recently had an exhibition of Mokka Kaffi in Reykjavik hat was successful.
I have been doing Sahajayoga for many years and have volunteered to teach and introduce.
