It is natural for man to reflect himself in what is before his eyes, and especially in others people who get in his way.
Each person's self-evaluation plays an important role in shaping and experiencing of reflection and thus of identity. The reflection is therefore not always a reflection of what is before the eyes bears in reality, whether it is an actual reflection or a comparison with another i the world.

Is tíbrá real or is it an intangible sensation, a sensation that creates our perception of it the environment?

A red thread in my work is the definition of behavior. Visual art is performative without being performance, still image of behavior. Staging behavior quietly. The asexuality of the sculptures is dominant, dolls longing with their searching hands like you and me, longing for fusion, wholeness. That the world will be whole, one day. At the same time, the works are grounded, full of childish origins and creation story.

Hjörtur Matthías Skúlason was born in Patreksfjörður in 1979 and grew up in Rauðasandi in Vesturbyggð.
He completed his preliminary studies at the School of Fine Arts in Reykjavík before starting his studies at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and graduated from there in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in product design. The special features of Hjartar in recent years are his anthropomorphic sculptures, hand-stitched dolls that remind us of the fate of man and connection with nature, beauty and horror, but in two-dimensional visual works mind and hand search for
a static tension, a power that lives beneath a sensual landscape.
