INTRODUCTION
Eirdís's creative process is inspired by her own journey of rediscovering 'self' beyond the conflicting cultural identities she grew up with. Her paintings deconstruct the symbolism of self, melting the foreground with the background. The eclectic colour palette in her work mirrors her chameleonesque experience of self. Her art explores the contradiction between the Western fixation of "finding oneself" and the Eastern philosophy of "no self" as all things are constantly changing, like water flowing and merging with its environment.
