(Redirected from Heiðrik á Heygum)

Heiðrikur á Heygum pronounced [ˈhaɪ:ɹɪkʊɹ ˈɔa ˈheɪ:jʊm] (born 1983 in Tórshavn), known by the stylised mononym HEIDRIK, is a Faroese artist[1] who is currently based in Denmark as of 2020.[2][non-primary source needed] His career has spanned multiple genres and mediums throughout his decades-long career.

Art[edit]

In the realm of painting, Heiðrikur works mainly with watercolors, covering subjects such as parenthood, sexuality, social stigma involving guilt, shame and loneliness. Heiðrikur has also created cover art for albums from musicians such as Eivør, ORKA, Páll Finnur Páll , SAKARIS, Guðrið Hansdóttir and BYRTA.

Film and music videos[edit]

Heiðrikur began his career in film in 2006 by directing a music video for his song Tár torna from his debut album An Invisible Gun (2006). Three years later, he directed his first short film Mítt Rúm in 2009. The short film premiered at the Faroese film festival in October 2008, and won awards at the Nordic Youth Film Festival (NUFF) and UNGFILM09, winning the Rasmus-Award in the latter case.

After graduating from Kort & Dokumentar Filmskolen in Denmark,[3] he began working with advertising and commercials.

Heiðrikur graduated from the Danish film school Super16 in 2014 as director, afterwards studying at the Icelandic Academy of Fine Art.

He has directed music videos for other Faroese musicians, including Eivør, ORKA, SAKARIS and BYRTA.

In 2014, Heiðrikur directed the horror short film Skuld, which premiered in late 2014 and won both the Geytin Jury Award and the Audience Award.[4] Skuld also won 2 Ekko Awards 2016 for best set design and best sound.
