Biography

My name is Jóel Kristinn Hrafnsson, born in and native to Akureyri, North Iceland, spending the larger portion of my life in Reykjavík. As far as I can remember I have been drawn to the arts and the mystical, and most of my influence is derived from insight and exploration thereof. I am quite inspired by illustrative art, ink work and watercolor paintings; not any specific movement or style in particular. Art and creative work is to me an exploration and depiction of ideals and depictions of my inner visions springing from the realms beyond.
As the great William Blake said:

‘I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.‘

I also have active various music projects, the dark esoteric / ambient ‘Solar Night’ and the Hardcore Techno / Electronic project ‘Naos’, which has been released in Belgium, United States and Germany. Those works can be heard here: (www.solarnight.bandcamp.com)

I aim for my work to bring vital currents, joy, freedom, potency, life-affirmation, wonder, magic and terror to all.
