Bio

Heimir Snær (b. 1993, Iceland) is a visual artist based in Reykjavík, Iceland. With a background in painting and filmmaking, Heimir experiments with conventional mediums in unusual ways and dances on the line wherein art and reality blurs. Focusing on art history and storied elements therein, Heimir's practice is defined by recognizing patterns and identifying the nature of form in art.
