Halldór Kristjánsson is an Icelandic contemporary oil painter from Reykjavík, known for his dreamlike symbolism and masterful use of color. His artwork draws inspiration from the old masters of the Academy, the symbolic movement of the late 19th century, and the color revolution led by artists like Henri Matisse and Claude Monet. Halldór’s artistic journey began at the Reykjavik School of Visual Arts and the Iceland University of the Arts in 2013. However, his desire to master the technical aspects of oil painting led him to the Watts Atelier in Encinitas, California, in 2015, where he honed his skills in figurative drawing and painting.

Since then, his career has flourished, with three group exhibitions and four solo exhibitions in Iceland. His work, mainly figurative, emphasizes light and atmosphere, creating pieces that evoke a sense of otherworldly beauty and depth. Halldór’s talent and dedication to his craft have earned him an honorable mention in the FAA Collective Awards, solidifying his reputation as a distinguished artist in the contemporary art scene.
