The colourful, naivistic and surrealist paintings of Faroese artist Sigrun Gunnarsdóttir (born 1950) tell strong stories. With her distinct and unique style, she is a significant and highly treasured artist in the Faroe Islands. Sigrun’s paintings are simple in style yet intricate in connotations. Her thoughts, hopes, and convictions are reflected on the canvas through universal stories about home, family, closeness, generations, and being grounded in faith. The foundation from which she tells her stories is a world of symbols, which include, amongst others, the lily, the sparrow, the key, the angel and the bird.
