Acrylic on canvas 200x50cm ; Past the Moss Ball plays around the theme of a world hosted in the bosom of the mountain. The vivid colours refer to the imaginary while more earthly colours such as black and green recall fields of lava and moss, two elements inseparable in the Icelandic landscapes. Beliefs or stories about hidden creatures are still widespread in Iceland: locals would point out rocks supposed to be homes to elves while many lava or rock formations have stories attached to them.
