Íslands Hrafnistumenn

The artwork Íslands Hrafnistumenn by Erlingur Jónsson was unveiled in 2008 at Stóra-Voga field. During the time of rowboats, Vatnsleysuströnd was one of the largest fishing stations in the country. The artwork was created as a tribute to seafaring and fishing from Vogur and Vatnsleysuströnd.

Birgis Þórarinsson from Minna-Knarrarnes, along with the help of Birgis Guðnason from the Erling Jónsson Art Museum, proposed the idea of a monument. They approached Erlingur with the idea of creating an artwork that paid homage to seafaring and fishing from Vogur and Vatnsleysuströnd. Erlingur, being from Vatnsleysuströnd himself, enthusiastically responded to the idea, and thus the work Íslands Hrafnistumenn was created.

The artist Erlingur Jónsson was born at Móakot on Vatnleysuströnd in 1920, he passed away in Reykjanesbær in 2022. Erlingur was an artist who created numerous sculptures found in Reykjanesbær and other places. Erlingur was a crafts teacher in Keflavík for a long time, and later he went to Norway to continue his arts education and later worked as an art teacher.
