About Einar

ABOUT EINAR

Welcome to my world of cosy corners and cheery colour. My work is a reaction against the proliferation of bland, greige housing; choosing to highlight the vivid colour that surrounds us. We are blessed to be able to see the most amazing things on this world and in this universe. My world is full of magic and wonder. I hope this work imparts some of that.

Einar is a Sydney-based artist who combines craft with art to express the beauty and joy of the world around him.
