Zane Veldre

I am a freelance artist, painter. Living and working in Riga, Latvia.

"The works of Zane Veldre are visionary tales about obsereved everyday events and situations, people whom she met, and emotions and ideas that have been engendered through direct or mediated communication. In her work Veldre gives prominence to aestetic attractivness and believes that art does not necessarily have to be narrative, but rather visually evocative, and must elict new interpretations over and over again.
