In her real life, Sigrun Lilja is an academic, who dreamed about becoming an artist when she was young. Raised in a remote countryside of Southern Iceland and the daughter of farmers, tending to domestic animals and the scenic landscape of M\u00fdrdalur with its glacier and highlands in the north, black sand beaches to the south, glacier rivers on both \u2018sides\u2019 with green mountains and moors (at least in the summer) are present in her works.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\"><strong>Why KindArt?<\/strong><br \/>\nKindArt has multiple meanings. In Icelandic, kind means female sheep, the German version refers to youth, and the English meaning is obvious. These three elements combined form an interesting mixture, under the influences of Icelandic nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Sigrun Lilja<\/strong><br \/>\nSigrun Lilja was born in the M\u00fdrdalur region in 1974. In her professional life, she is an associate professor at Bifr\u00f6st University with a PhD in the sociology of the arts from University of Exeter, UK. In a way, her attempt to artistic endeavour is an ode to a childhood\u2019s dream and this web is her willingness to share it with others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Icelandic sheep<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Icelandic sheep is an odd fish, intelligent with funny quirks and personalities. As a part of Icelandic nature (praised by some, loathed by others) she has kept Icelanders alive for over 1000 years. The attempt to artistic creativity and design on this platform is a humble \u2018thank you\u2019 to her and the rough beauty of Iceland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m559v-9cc28aae2673a545187b832158e88f81\">\n.flex_column.av-m559v-9cc28aae2673a545187b832158e88f81{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-m559v-9cc28aae2673a545187b832158e88f81 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-27a477-473860c56657aba90d9d88df5afff105\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-27a477-473860c56657aba90d9d88df5afff105{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-27a477-473860c56657aba90d9d88df5afff105 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-27a477-473860c56657aba90d9d88df5afff105 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-27a477-473860c56657aba90d9d88df5afff105 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >KindArt<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1v1npv-02578d66b7bf80c7b093e4ab7a6c2fc4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Sigr\u00fan Lilja Einarsd\u00f3ttir<br \/>\nB\u00e6jarholt 1, Laugar\u00e1s, 806, Selfoss<br \/>\nTel: +354 690 3522 \u00b7 <a href=\"mailto:kindart.gallery@gmail.com\">kindart.gallery@gmail.com<\/a><br \/>\nID-number: 0904743839<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"About KindArt - KindArt","description":"K indArt is a platform for the works of an enthusiastic amateur.
