Ocean ocean there power lies (ath tillage mín: Ocean ocean where power lies)
seaweed grows there red and green
a pearl is growing inside of me
Hulda Viljhálmsdóttir
When Hulda talks about her abstract paintings, she speaks of the sea and water. The purification.
High and low tide. The water comes closer, then disappears and something else takes over. When everything floods, Hulda plunges into the water, into the movement.
The brush strokes are thick and water the paper with color. They become plants of the sea, crawl on the paper like the seaweed on the beach.
The color flows on the surface and searches for a pathway until the paper concedes and absorbs everything. Black, purple, brown and gray.
All that is left is movement, full of emotion. Varied, blurry, deep and feminine. Only sensitivity can cope with it all. The emotions, the movements, the paintings. What is left.
Then there is the clay. The brush strokes find a different path here. Working with the mass. Water and clay meet there, in the mass. It floats and it is ambiguous. Sea-green or matte white.
The clay is in strips, like hair. Hair floating in the water. Like vegetation swinging back and forth, in darkness, under a ton of water. Plants that cannot be picked, or they will vanish.
