This painting representing the vanishing Glaciers in Iceland due to climate changes. I was born and brought up near Vatnajökull and I see a lot of changes every time I drive past the Glaciers on the south coast. Every year there is a big change. I paint with patine au vin, tempera made with white wine, eggs and only natural ingredients, pigments made from stones in Iceland and volcanic ash. So natural nature.....

R. Benedikta / Gudrun Benedikta Eliasdottir graduated in 1987 with a B.Ed in Arts. Since then she has lived and worked on her art in three countries; Iceland, France and Luxembourg. She paints with a tempera, "patine au vin", that includes amongst other ingredients white wine and eggs. She has developed the mixture over the years and experimented with using various minerals like volcanic ash and crushed stones. She throws, smears and drizzles the colours on the canvas and uses all kinds of objects to put them on, the paintbrush is hardly ever used. The main theme in her work is nature, working with natural ingredients so the natural pigments get a new purpose. In a way we can say that this is recycling. She has participated in exhibitions in museums, galleries and salons in Iceland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Norway, Germany, France, England, Austria and the U.S. For further information and photos: www.rbenedikta.com Today also Art teacher in Menntaskolinn vid Sund, College in Reykjavik.
