Artistic Representations of Amazing Icelandic Landscapes

By Lizzie Davey @Wanderarti · On 16 May, 2014

Iceland. It’s magical, right? A combination of its incredible sweeping scenery and the potential to witness the ever-elusive Northern Lights has made Iceland hot property for tourists in the past couple of years. There’s guides and stories aplenty from the geysers to the colourful, welcoming city of Reykjavik. So today I’d like to focus on the amazing Icelandic landscape, and the influence it has on artists’ creativity instead. Cue another Artistic Representations post, this time stepping away from city-life – which I’ve centred on before – and into nature.

Lizzie has a passion for visual vagabonding (a new term, maybe?), whereby she likes to document the beauty in the world via creative forms. She created Wanderarti as a space for this new term to flourish, providing somewhere for art and travel to collide. Apart from pretty things and exploring new places, Lizzie likes tea, takeaways, and cute animals.
