Elínrós Díanadóttir

Elínrós Díanadóttir is a Swedish-Icelandic video artist and painter blending sound, video, poetry, music, art, animation, performance, and inquiry. Her practice brings these forms together in experimental audiovisual works that move between the intimate, the symbolic, and the ethereal.

Much of Elínrós’ work emerges through encounters with archetypal, spiritual, and cosmic intelligences, exploring how they can be met and felt as living presences.

Her current body of work unfolds as chapters, beginning with Chapter 1: The Kali Portal, Chapter 2: Compassion for Our Earth Mother, and Chapter 3: The Octagon.

Elínrós creates every element of her work herself, from music, voice and sound to filming, editing, animation, painting and performance — continuously weaving and developing the many voices in the choir of her artistic language.
