She graduated from the foundation course in visual arts from The Reykjav\u00edk School of Visual Arts in 2015 and graduated from Iceland University of the Arts in 2018 with an exchange semester in Tallin, Estonia. After graduating she moved to Berlin to work on her art along with working for Verein Berliner K\u00fcnstler Gallery. Today she lives and works in Reykjav\u00edk and has been a member of the art-collective Myrkraverk since the start of 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c1g\u00fasta is fascinated with the unknown and uses it as a focus in her practise, where her art becomes mysterious or even ominous. Sincerity is however never far away in her artwork. She hopes that with her work the viewer can put the everyday aside and get lost in their own musings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her stay in Gil Artist Residency \u00c1g\u00fasta will continue her work on an art book where she will bring mysterious beings to life with drawings, sculptures and poems. Her inspiration is sought from nature and fables from around the world. \u00c1g\u00fasta will also use her time to research sounds that originate from occult stories both in the shape of dreams and supernatural experience of others and herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c1g\u00fasta will have an exhibition of her works in Deiglan during the weekend of January 30. &#8211; 31st 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"994\" src=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bro\u0301\u00f0irTungl.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2580\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bro\u0301\u00f0irTungl.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/?attachment_id=2580\" class=\"wp-image-2580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bro\u0301\u00f0irTungl.jpg 635w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bro\u0301\u00f0irTungl-511x800.jpg 511w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2581\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/?attachment_id=2581\" class=\"wp-image-2581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dra\u0301pan.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2582\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/listagil.is\/?attachment_id=2582\" class=\"wp-image-2582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-565x800.jpg 565w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/listagil.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dratthali-scaled.jpg 1809w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c1g\u00fasta Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir er gestalistama\u00f0ur Gilf\u00e9lagsins \u00ed jan\u00faarm\u00e1nu\u00f0i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c1g\u00fasta Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir er f\u00e6dd og uppalin \u00ed Reykjav\u00edk.
