RAGNAR HÓLM
RAGNARSSON
Ragnar Hólm (b. 1962) has held 17 solo exhibitions in Iceland during the past decade and taken part in numerous group exhibitions abroad. He is a passionate watercolourist but also works in oils. Ragnar has attended courses and workshops in Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Italy and Spain. He works in marketing for the town of Akureyri but in his spare time he writes, goes fly-fishing and paints with watercolour.
“Painting with watercolour is a form of meditation; a state of mind. The transparent paint dances lightly over the white paper giving the work an inner light which is the heart of the matter. It is relaxing to paint with watercolour and nourishing for the spirit. On the other hand, oil painting is a battle where the colours wrestle for attention until a calm falls and the solution is found.“
