SveinbjörnHelgason

Birdartist

Sigurbjörn Helgason has set up his workspace in the museum shop where he will be making birds, large and small.

The adventurous birds are made from a variety of found materials such as reindeer antlers, pine from the garden and driftwood pieces. Each bird has its own unique character shaped by the material.
Sigurbjörn graduated as an art teacher and has worked as such in Reykjavík’s primary schools until he retired last year.
