Puffins

The Atlantic puffin has become Iceland’s most precious bird and tourist attractions. Ása has cleverly designed her puffins to stand securely on a natural lava rock. The rough, porous texture of the lava rock contrasts beautifully with the smooth puffin figures, enchanting the sense of realism – as if the puffins are perched on their native volcanic cliffs.

Ása´s Puffins on Lava Rock

The Atlantic puffin has become Iceland’s most precious bird and tourist attractions. Ása has cleverly designed her puffins to stand securely on a natural lava rock. The rough, porous texture of the lava rock contrasts beautifully with the smooth clay puffin figures, enchanting the sense of realism – as if the puffins are perched on their native volcanic cliffs.

This thoughtful combination of materials not only highlights the birds connection to Icelandic landscapes but also turns each sculpture into a grounded, stable and harmonious art piece. The piece is 14 cm tall.

Ása is an Icelandic artist inspired by her country’s dramatic nature, rich folklore and islands animals. Her work evokes the timeless stories, landscape and animal life on our little volcanic island. Reflecting both the fragility and enduring power of Icelandic nature and tradition.
