Marta Margrét is an Icelandic fine art photographer based in Belgium, whose work explores the quiet tension between absence and presence, between natural impermanence and human structure. Drawing on her Nordic roots, Marta’s images are shaped by the stark beauty of Icelandic landscapes -- spaces of raw light, minimal form, and emotional resonance -- yet they also reflect the layered, architectural, and cultural complexity of her life in continental Europe.

Having migrated from a small Arctic society to a bustling international environment, Marta’s artistic voice carries a dual perspective: one grounded in solitude, stillness, and elemental force; the other engaged with transitions, crossings, and the delicate dialogue between nature and the constructed world. Her practice transforms skeletal flowers, abstracted architecture, mirrored diptychs, and human gestures into visual meditations on fragility, memory, and emotional presence.

​

In a world often overstimulated by noise and image, Marta’s work offers rare spaces of quiet reflection — places where minimal forms unlock something intimate, profound, and universal. Recognized by the Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3) and exhibited internationally, Marta belongs to a new generation of Nordic artists contributing to the global conversation on abstraction, nature, and the unseen ties between place, self, and memory.
