Featured in Assouline’s Iceland Epic, this artwork captures a quiet November morning in East Iceland — the air still, the fjord silent, the world bathed in soft, wintry light. I sat by the harbor of Seyðisfjörður with a simple breakfast and a steaming pot of tea, watching the fishing boats drift gently on the calm water.

Beside the brass kettle rested an enamel mug marked with a Vegvísir, the ancient Icelandic “wayfinder” symbol — said to help one find direction through any storm. It felt fitting here, in a place where weather and time shape everything, a quiet emblem of guidance and calm.

For over a decade, I’ve lived and breathed Iceland — not in passing visits, but through months spent in its wilderness and quiet towns like this one. Teatime in Seyðisfjörður captures one such moment of stillness — where the simplest rituals become sacred.

In the end, what I hope people feel when they see my work is care. The care for light, for craft, for the unseen details that make something feel alive. Because true quality isn’t about what’s visible — it’s about what’s felt, even when you can’t explain why.

Authentic. Hand-Signed. Collectible.

Each artwork is personally signed by me, Adam Biernat, and comes with a certificate of authenticity — a true collectible for discerning collectors.

The signature affirms that the piece was approved by the artist himself and meets the highest archival and artistic standards.

Museum-Level Detail & Depth

Each piece is printed on archival Hahnemühle Photo Rag — a luxurious, thick, 100% cotton matte paper, prized by galleries and collectors for its softly textured surface and museum-level depth.

Combined with archival 12-color Canon Lucia Pro inks, it captures breathtaking sharpness, rich tones, and natural color that brings the scene to life — whether it's a misty Icelandic fjord or a windswept coastal plain.

The result? Museum-level clarity, subtle gradations, and a sense of presence so real you’ll want to step into the frame.

Framed to Perfection in L.A.

Each piece is custom-framed to order in Los Angeles using solid wood, framing-grade acrylic, and expert craftsmanship — no shortcuts, no veneers.

Your artwork arrives ready to hang, with mounting hardware included and every detail professionally handled.

Sturdy & Eco-Friendly Packaging

Your artwork will arrive in perfect condition, protected by secure, custom packaging designed for fine art. Each piece is expertly packed, fully insured, and handled with great care.

I’ve shipped over 2,000 artworks — and in all that time, damage has been virtually nonexistent. But if anything ever arrives in less than perfect condition, I’ll make it right — personally.

The packaging is eco-friendly too. I care deeply about our fragile planet — and I want the landscapes I photograph to remain as wild and pristine as they are today. Nearly all of my materials are plastic-free and fully recyclable.

FRAMING GUIDE

Custom-Framed in Los Angeles by Master Craftsmen

Handcrafted in Los Angeles

Each frame is custom-built by hand to ensure a flawless, museum-quality finish — crafted in Los Angeles by exceptionally skilled artisans. Their obsessive attention to detail guarantees a perfect fit and enduring quality.

No Veneers. Just Solid Wood

Your artwork deserves lasting integrity — that’s why I use only solid walnut, maple, and pine. Unlike veneer or imitation wood, these natural materials ensure your frame will never warp or degrade over time.

Always Flat. Never Buckled

A buckled print can ruin the impact of great art. That’s why each piece is permanently mounted to a rigid board — so it stays flat, clean, and beautifully tensioned, even in large sizes.

No Mat — The Museum-Standard Look

Every piece is framed without a mat — not by accident, but by design. This clean, contemporary approach is the museum standard for large-scale fine art photography.

Instead of a mat, I use custom-made white spacers — a refined detail that gives the artwork space to breathe and keeps all attention on the image. These spacers create an elegant air gap between the artwork and the acrylic, protecting it from sticking, moisture, and mold over time.

The result? A premium, gallery-style presentation that looks timeless, modern, and beautifully intentional — at any size.

Many collectors who were used to traditional matting have told me they love the clean, modern feel of this approach — and now prefer it.

However, if you strongly prefer a traditional mat, I’ll be happy to offer a custom option — just email me at adam@adambiernatstudio.com

Crystal-Clear Acrylic Protection

Enjoy crystal-clear viewing and serious protection. I use thick, framing-grade acrylic that filters 85% of UV light — completely flat and resilient, unlike the flimsy plastic found in mass-market frames.

Sealed Tight. Stays Clean Inside

To preserve your investment long term, a durable dust cover is sealed to the back of every frame — keeping the interior pristine for years to come.

Built-In Hanging Confidence

Each frame comes ready to hang, with premium hardware attached (corner hangers or a cleat for larger works). It’s solid, safe, and designed for effortless display from day one.

“The frame quality blew me away! Solid, sleek, and built to last.” – Peter F.

The story behind this piece

It was a cold November morning, the kind that humbles sound and slows time. My six-month stay in Iceland was coming to an end, and I had one last day in Seyðisfjörður before the ferry to Denmark. The town was completely still — no wind, no footsteps, only the faint creak of ropes from the harbor.

I sat on the wooden quay with a small breakfast: bread, butter, and tea. The brass kettle had followed me through months of travel — dented, tarnished, but reliable — and that morning, its warmth felt almost alive against the chill. Steam rose slowly, twisting in the pale light, and drifted toward the calm water where the fishing boats lay anchored like sleeping animals.

Beside the kettle sat an enamel mug adorned with a Vegvísir, the ancient Icelandic wayfinder symbol — believed to help one find direction through storms. It’s said that those who carry it will never lose their way, even when the path disappears. That symbol, etched against the white of the mug and the blue of the fjord beyond, felt quietly perfect. Iceland had been my compass for years — not just in geography, but in rhythm, purpose, and silence.

As I poured the tea, the reflection of the boats rippled gently, distorting the scene for a moment and then restoring it — like breath on glass. The air smelled of salt and snow, and I remember thinking how deeply peaceful it felt to be completely alone, yet so full of presence.

For me, “Teatime in Seyðisfjörður” isn’t about the act of tea itself, but about what it represents — a small, human warmth against the vastness of the North. It’s a moment that says: even here, at the edge of the world, calm can be found in the simplest rituals.
