Artist and curator in conversation | Work in progress with Sara Riel

Sara's subjects include flora, fauna, weather and even space. She uses exceptional artistry and resourcefulness to create engaging, visual interpretations of compelling issues.

Sara Riel (1980) studied art at the Iceland University of the Arts and the Weißensee University of the Arts in Berlin, from where she graduated in 2006. She is known for wall works in public spaces, but at the same time she has works in many collections and has exhibited widely.

Wonderland is a project dedicated to the history of Ásmundarsafn. This was the home and studio of sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982), which he designed himself and built in the years 1942-1950. During the four decades that the artist worked in the house, it was a scene of vibrant artistic creation. Throughout the year 2025, artists are invited to elaborate on their own works in progress or any state of flux.
