Kristín Ósk Hólm Ragnarsdóttir, Head of the Emergency Department, says the department is very grateful for the gift.

“We approached Stefán and asked whether he would be willing to donate artworks to the department. It is important for us to be able to brighten up our spaces, whether in the lounge or the relatives’ room. Art pleases the eye and provides a sense of warmth that we want to offer to those who need to seek our services. We are therefore extremely pleased with this generous gift,” says Kristín
