Sóley (b. 1994) is an independent graphic designer and artist based in Hörgársveit, Iceland and Bali, Indonesia.

She holds a BA in Graphic Design from the Iceland University of the Arts, which she completed in 2020. Following her graduation she worked at various creative agencies, where she further developed her visual language and approach to design.

Over the years, Sóley has cultivated a distinctive visual style, primarily expressed through digital printmaking. Since becoming an independent practitioner in 2023, her focus has increasingly shifted towards the creation of tapestries, exploring the possibilities of translating her graphic language into textile form.

Her work draws inspiration from a range of sources, including the ancient artistic traditions of Indigenous peoples of Central America. She is particularly drawn to their visual language and to cultural perspectives in which the boundaries between the masculine and feminine are understood as more fluid and interconnected.
