Ansis RozentāLs

Ansis Rozentāls employs classical painting as the primary element of his creative practice. He views painting as the purest form of expression and the foundation of all art. His objective is to create artworks where painting intersects with contemporary, technological elements such as LED lights, smart films, and the mist from humidifiers. This approach aims to attract attention from various generations—both admirers of classical painting and enthusiasts of contemporary art and modern technologies—hoping that every viewer will find something personal and intriguing.

Thematically, Rozentāls utilizes nature and metaphysical primary elements—earth, water, fire, air, ether—in his works, allowing for a broad spectrum of visual interpretations. One of his main goals is to encourage viewers to reflect on the environment and the structure of the world, helping each person find answers to questions that seem important. His idea of the symbiosis between classical painting and modern technologies marks a new way of combining painting with new media. By employing the fundamental principles of expanded painting connected with the capabilities of new technologies, he finds ways to broaden perspectives on painting as a whole.
