This striking watercolor painting offers an intense close-up of Grýla, the legendary Icelandic figure, her nefarious smile and sharp, clawed hand reaching ominously toward the viewer. Her shadowy figure, rendered in deep black, is contrasted by the vivid green tones of her face and hand, creating a sense of eerie vitality. The dynamic background, awash in bold whites, blues, and purples, heightens the drama, providing a sharp contrast to the sinister elements of her form. Measuring 29.7x21 cm (A4) in landscape orientation, this unframed original from 2020 captures the menacing allure of folklore in a visually captivating and atmospheric scene.
