Mundi
Portrait of a farmer.
Guðmundur Þorsteinsson – “Mundi” – lived at the Finnbogastaðir farm in Trékyllisvík, a tiny settlement in Strandir, Westfjords of Iceland.
Blessed with a rugged coastline, dramatic mountains, and picturesque bays, this remote area embraces great natural beauty and quiet. But with these benisons also come isolation and brutal weather. The long and dark winters, exacerbated by frigid northerly winds, make for a very hard life, more so for a farmer.
Mundi came from a generation of hardy Icelanders, now fast receding. He passed away last year on December 2. These portraits were taken in 2015.
