Nestled beneath mist-covered hills in Iceland’s far north, this blue wooden house feels like a fragment of another time — a quiet echo of the herring era that once filled Siglufjörður with life and song.

I lived near this house for six months while working in the town’s Herring Era Museum — not to earn a living, but to soak in the atmosphere of this remote fishing town and understand it more deeply.

Every day, the house seemed to shift with the weather: glowing deep blue beneath the rain, softening into fog, surrounded by violet lupine in early summer. It became a symbol of Iceland’s quiet resilience, where beauty and solitude coexist effortlessly.

When I sign a piece, I think of it as a small promise — that it was made to outlive trends, seasons, and even me. Each artwork is a physical record of care, made from materials chosen not for convenience, but for endurance.

There are places that stay with you long after you’ve left. For me, that place is Iceland — its quiet has shaped the rhythm of my days and the way I create. My work, featured in Assouline’s Iceland Epic, is my attempt to give that quiet back to the world.

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

Fine Art Deserves Better Than Store-Bought Frames

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

The air in Siglufjörður — or Sigló, as the locals call it — always carried a faint scent of salt and fish oil — a memory of the herring era that once defined this northern town. I spent six months there, working in the Herring Era Museum, trying to understand the rhythm of this place — its past, its silences, and the people who stayed when the herring was gone.

Not far from where I lived stood this blue wooden house. It caught my eye every morning — perfectly still beneath the mist, surrounded by the soft violet bloom of lupine that rolled down from the mountains. The architecture had a distinctly Norwegian feel, a reminder of the trade and seafaring connections that once tied these fjords to the wider world.

Some days, fog would descend so low that the house seemed to float between sea and sky — isolated, yet oddly alive. I would wait for those moments, when the world grew quiet and even the gulls seemed to hold their breath. That’s when I pressed the shutter.

This artwork became, for me, a portrait of Sigló itself — a place that has learned to live with solitude, to endure, and to find beauty in what remains.
