Um Listafólkið

Helgi is born, and has lived most of his life by the coasts of the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Living there, exposed to the violent and everchanging seascapes has been a great source of inspiration. This inspirational background can be recognised in most of his art. Helgi is working mainly in pewter, and for this metal he has developed a unique technique. Each piece is built up individually. The texture is formed completely freehand - no casting or moulds - and the colors are kind of oxidation, changing and living with the light like a landscape, the midniht Sun or the Northern Light. Pewter has been used for several thousands years for thousands different purposes: but never like this before.
