Ragnar Kjartansson is an Icelandic artist celebrated for transforming emotion and repetition into powerful works of art. While widely known for his groundbreaking performances, his prints and paintings capture the same blend of irony, beauty, and vulnerability that define his practice. In 2009, as the youngest artist to represent Iceland at the Venice Biennale, he produced a portrait of a friend every single day for six months—an endurance project that has become one of his most iconic series. Today, his paintings and works on paper continue to distill the humor, melancholy, and poetry of the human experience, making them highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
