Hello, I'm Aldis I.

I'm born in 1961​,​ in Reykjavik Iceland. As long as I can remember​,​ as a young child​,​ I always had to be creating something and drawing. All the packaging that came to my home (from the: milk​,​ cheerios) turned into various figures. I finished the art academy in Iceland in 1984. I did not have much time for my art those first years​,​ because of a big family (5 kids) and an illness in the family. Today I work full time with my art and I love it. In the academy​,​ the teacher introduced us to various artists. One fascinated me the most at that time​,​ the Icelandic abstract artist "Kristján Davíðsson"​,​ I loved his colors and how powerful his artwork was. I found out that this was my passion​,​ to play with the colors in a powerful way as he did. I start with an empty mind​,​ try to play with the colors like a child​,​ turn the canvas occasionally and in the end​,​ the work surprises me as well as others. I often hear that people love my colors and keep telling me what a good eye I have for colors​,​ the funny thing is that I'm "colorblind"​,​ of course not completely​,​ but I don't see the colors like most others do. Perhaps that's why I love strong colors.
