Pétur Geir Magnússon (b. 1994 Reykjavík, Iceland) studied graphic design & visual communication at the Icelandic University of the Arts (BFA 2020), with an exchange semester at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

My work explores the intersection between painting and sculpture, art and design, craftsmanship, and modern technology. I gravitated toward reliefs and have been developing my ideas through that medium, emphasizing making relief art with modern technology. My work explores the relationship between light and shadow and how it interacts with shapes and color to create movement and give the artwork a new dimension. I have been exploring how the potential of different mediums such as wood, concrete, and plastic and how these mediums can be shaped and manipulated with new technology such as laser cutters, computerized CNC machines, and 3d printing. Pétur is a multidisciplinary artist, spreading into mediums such as reliefs, printmaking, painting, and drawing.
