Erna Mist (b. 1998 in Reykjavík) is a painter and essayist. Her artistic talent is mostly translated onto canvas and her writing onto newspaper pages. Despite her young age, her works have been exhibited in London, Milan, and Reykjavík and have been sold to seventeen countries across three continents. Erna resides in both Reykjavík and London and graduated from The Slade School of Fine Art in 2023. Næturveröld (Night World) was her first solo exhibition in Iceland.

In Iceland, Erna has gained attention for her philosophical essays in Morgunblaðið and Vísir.is, where she writes about our relationship with technology, society, others, and ourselves, as well as how these relationships interact with one another. For Erna, paintings and texts are not separate phenomena but two methods of capturing the same emotions.
