About the Artist 

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 visually saturated world, Marta’s work creates spaces of quiet attention, where minimal forms give rise to intimacy, memory, and emotional presence. Her work has received international recognition, including honours from the Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3) and the Minimalist Photography Awards, and has been exhibited across Europe and the United States.
