Bárður Jákupsson (b. Dec. 23, 1943) is a Faroese artist who works in a colorist, almost abstract expressionist style of landscape painting. Jákupsson trained at the Academy in Copenhagen in the 1970s and after his return to the Faroe Isles he became the director of Færøernes Kunstmuseum. His art is probably best known from the numerous Faroese stamps that feature it.
