Life

Hanni Bjartalid studied art at The Nordic School of Art ( " Nordiska Konstskolan " ) in Kokkola in Finland and now living in Lahti. With his sometimes naive acting and very colorful pictures he is an important representative of Faroese art. His paintings were exhibited in the Scandinavian countries and in Germany.

" " Bjartalíðs small images to create a special intimacy, and all images are part of a narrative whole. The seemingly naivistischen as comic or graffiti -style drawings express a lightness and a sense of humor that stands in stark contrast to the actual stories that are shown in the pictures, pictures that are extremely serious and somber at the same time general and universal.
