About "Nykurhylsfoss - the demon in the deep"

by Gerry van Roosmalen

About the artwork

This waterfall bears two names. Sveinsstekksfoss presumably refers to a farmer called Sveinn, who once had a sheep corral (stekkur) here. But the name Nykurhylsfoss tells a different, mythical story - and that very name fits the mood of this picture.

The Nykur is a demonic water creature from Icelandic sagas, which assumes itself as a beautiful, silver-grey horse. It appears harmless, but whoever rides it is dragged into the depths of death. According to popular belief, the Nykur lurks in deep pools of water under waterfalls - just as you find at the foot of this trap. The word hylur means pool or swirl, and forms the heart of the name Nykurhylsfoss: the waterfall at the pool of the Nykur.

In this picture, the water splashes apart on a dark rock, flanked by lush green moss that looks almost luminous in the Icelandic climate. The contrast between power and calm, water and stone, echoes something of the mythical story embedded in this place.
