About Me.
Hi! My name is Margrét Ösp Árnadóttir, but I go by Renja or Ren. I was born on October 21, 2007, and I’ve been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. This website is my way of sharing my creative journey and the talent I’ve worked so hard to develop.
My love for art began when I was six years old, thanks to my mother introducing me to anime. While it might be a common story for many artists, it sparked something unique in me and set me on a path that I’ve never strayed from. Anime fueled my imagination and inspired me to create, shaping the person and artist I am today.
One of my biggest dreams is to become a game artist. I’m passionate about creating immersive and imaginative worlds, and I hope to one day contribute to the gaming industry in a way that leaves a lasting impact. I strive to continually improve my skills and grow as an artist, aiming to be recognized for my creativity and dedication.
Over the past two years, I’ve been working on commissions, and it’s been an incredible experience. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy on my customers’ faces when they receive a finished piece that’s been crafted with care and attention to detail. I’m passionate about connecting with people through my work, and I love the opportunity to bring their visions to life.
In a crowd, I might not always stand out at first glance, but my energy and enthusiasm—especially when it comes to my interests—make me memorable. I’m lively, creative, and committed to growing as an artist while making meaningful connections along the way.
Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope you enjoy exploring my work!

Industry experience
CCP Games
April 2023
I had the incredible opportunity to complete a three-day internship with CCP Games in Iceland, where I gained firsthand experience working with a professional game development team. During my time there, I learned about their development processes, team dynamics, and workflow. This experience gave me valuable insight into how a leading game studio operates and strengthened my understanding of the gaming industry. As part of the internship, I also signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which taught me about the importance of confidentiality and professionalism in this field.
