Vigdis Sigmundsdóttir (1 March 1934 – 23 February 2023) was an artist from the Faroe Islands, known internationally for producing a collage of 12 motives from Ormurin Langi (The Long Serpent) that resulted in a series of stamps from Postverk Føroya released in 2006.
[1] Sigmundsdóttir started to draw as a child, with aquarelle and paint on canvas.
As a daughter of the Faroese painter Sigmund Petersen, she had favourable surroundings for developing as an artist.
As collages became her passion, she developed her own style and inspiration from the particular light and weather on the Faroe Islands.
[2] Below are some of the art works with motives from the old Faroese ballad "Ormurin langi",[3] which Sigmundsdóttir has created.
