Combining colour and form in clay
- • Inga likes to create directly with the material
- • Her designs are bold and playful
- • She began studying art at 12 years of age
Inga Elín has dedicated her life to working with a variety of materials, but clay is her true passion. She loves the freedom her career brings and can’t imagine not being creative every day. In her sculptural and lighting work she uses a playful array of natural and animal forms to create arresting one off pieces. The influences of her Icelandic surroundings are clearly visible in this work. Her homeware range uses simple forms with luscious surface finishes; from classic and bold black and white designs, to her opulent gold collection. In 2020, she opened a new gallery, with her son, at exactly the location where she had had a gallery 25 years ago – a type of homecoming.
