ArtistSpotlight --> Internationally collected contemporary artist Hendrikka Waage continues to expand her evolving art practice through a body of work that explores energy, emotional presence, perception, and the complexity of human attention in contemporary life. Born and raised in Reykjavik and currently splitting her time between London and Iceland, Waage brings a distinctly international perspective to her work, shaped by decades of creative practice and life experiences spanning Japan, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Her paintings merge expressive color, layered texture, and symbolic figuration into compositions that feel both emotionally immediate and deeply contemplative. Before transitioning fully into painting, Waage spent more than two decades as an acclaimed jewelry designer, an experience that continues to influence her sensitivity to material, balance, texture, and detail. Following successful presentations during Art Basel Miami Beach Week and beyond, the artist now prepares for upcoming exhibitions and new presentations that further expand the dialogue surrounding her work, its evolving visual language, and its growing international reach.
