Oil paintings
At Apollo art you will find a unique selection of oil paintings by well-known and emerging artists, either from or based in Iceland.
Oil artworks date back to the fifth century in Asia and Afghanistan, where natural plant oils were used to decorate caves. At the beginning of the 15th century, it was the artist's choice of texture and the lifespan of the work that determined the type of paint he used. Oil paint slowly began to replace other methods in Europe, especially in the Netherlands and Italy. Despite the discovery and popularity of acrylic paint in the early 20th century, many artists still prefer to use oil paint because of its timeless properties.
