Artists: Ásbjörn Erlingsson

He lives in the Netherlands where he is studying for a master's degree at Leiden University in Media Technology. turn on my pictures is what I find all disgustingly embarrassing. Although the subject matter is not necessarily about them, this embarrassment seems to be a well into which one can draw endless inspiration.
I usually start with pictures without knowing in advance what the content of the picture is going to be. Through the drawing process, the context and characters of the pictures are born. It sounds like a real cliché but this is how it happens! A large part of my artistic creation has always been related to the experiences of everyday masculinity and toxic masculinity, but in recent years I have moved on to other feminist issues as well. Although I did not know before to call art feminist, I know better now. "

"Vía is an incredibly important addition to the media flora of Iceland. I am so grateful that this great initiative allows fools like drawing individual pictures and comics for their publications. Not only do I get to contribute my way in a really needed discussion but it is also a great opportunity to learn from amazing people. "
