The road to Mjóifjörður winds steeply through the Icelandic East Fjords — gravel, narrow, and often shrouded in fog. Few ever make it this far. I lived in this region for a year and a half, and every visit to this hidden fjord felt like crossing into another world.

This piece was created around midnight in July, when the fog hung low over the sea and the light never fully faded. A single cabin stood alone on the cliffs — its white façade glowing faintly against the gray, with a few distant lights flickering by the harbor below.

In a world of shortcuts, I hold on to process. Every artwork is individually crafted, signed and framed by hand in London. This devotion to craft isn’t about excess — it’s about restraint. About knowing when to stop, and letting the materials speak.

Each piece I make begins with stillness — not an absence of sound, but a kind of listening. My artworks, including those in Assouline’s Iceland Epic, are my way of sharing what that silence has to say.

Authentic. Signed. Collectible.

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

The signature affirms that the piece 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 London

Each piece is framed to order in London using solid wood or quality veneer, framing-grade acrylic, and expert craftsmanship.

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

Thoughtfully Framed. Beautifully Finished.

Framed in London Studio

Each artwork is professionally framed in London, where the artwork, glazing, and frame are carefully assembled and finished to ensure a refined, gallery-ready presentation.

The frames themselves are crafted in Germany by Nielsen — a renowned European frame producer known for its precision engineering and exceptional build quality.

This combination of German craftsmanship and London-based finishing results in a frame that feels deliberate, balanced, and beautifully executed.

Real Wood. No Imitations.

All frames are made from real wood — never MDF or imitation materials. The result is a frame that feels solid, natural, and timeless, with subtle grain and character that elevates the artwork rather than distracting from it.

The wood used is FSC®-certified, sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental and social standards.

Glass & Acrylic — Chosen by Size

To ensure both clarity and durability, glazing is selected based on artwork size:

Small and medium sizes are framed behind high-quality glass, offering crisp clarity and a classic finish.

Larger sizes are framed behind premium framing acrylic — lighter, safer, and better suited for substantial works, while maintaining excellent visual quality.

Clean, Modern Presentation (No Mount)

All artworks are framed without a mount, creating a clean, contemporary look that keeps the focus entirely on the image.

A subtle printed border around the artwork provides visual breathing room and balance, resulting in a presentation that feels intentional, modern, and gallery-inspired.

A classic black frame suits almost any interior, while white or oak frames bring a lighter, more contemporary character to a space.

Ready to Hang

Every framed artwork arrives ready to hang, with secure hanging hardware attached to the back of the frame.

No additional preparation needed — just unpack, hang, and enjoy the artwork in your space.

“The frame quality blew me away! Solid, elegant, and beautifully finished.” – Peter F.

Hi! I'm Adam Biernat,

an award-winning photographer, published in the top Icelandic magazines.

I have been traveling around Iceland since 2014 to capture its serene beauty.

How I created this artwork

Reaching Mjóifjörður always felt like entering another realm. The road twists down from the mountains in endless curves, half gravel, half mist, clinging to the cliffs as it descends toward the sea. By winter, it’s closed to the world. In summer, it’s barely open — a thread of a road leading to silence.

That night, I camped by the water below this cabin, in a narrow strip of grass between the mountains and the fjord. The air smelled faintly of salt and wet earth. Though it was July, the cold crept in as midnight approached. The fog thickened, wrapping everything in quiet.

I climbed up the hill toward the cabin, guided not by darkness but by the dim, endless light of the Icelandic summer. The world had reduced itself to shades of gray — sea, land, sky, all dissolving into one another. Only the faint lights from the harbor flickered far below.

And then I saw it — this small white cabin standing alone against the mist, its paint worn by decades of storms, its window boarded shut. It looked almost weightless, like a memory suspended between sea and sky. I set up my tripod and waited, letting the fog breathe around it.

When I released the shutter, the moment felt like a whisper — brief, fragile, and infinite at once.

Even now, when I look at this piece, I can still feel the damp chill of that air and hear the faint lapping of the tide below. It reminds me that the quietest places often speak the loudest — if you stay long enough to listen.

— Adam Biernat
