About The Artwork

This is a painting from series "Homage to a Man Who Feared to Lose Paradise". His biggest fear was to become a father. “Indifference” is a painting about overcoming fear and anger. Everybody who has healed will recognize the feeling of numb emptiness which replaces rage. Indifference is the first sign of healing. A detailed portrait is mixed with papier mache bas relief: a fallen hero devoured by a dragon. Paintings are made in zero waste technology, using paper from children's works (they were informed about the destiny of their drawings). All my students are patients at Children Clinical University Hospital in Riga and I hope their drawings add a special and precious energy to my work.

My love for printed words is so strong that I make paintings and sculptures from orphaned books. I add different sorts of paper, textile fiber and found objects and treat this mixture as if it was a marble mine. I regard all human-made commodities as the raw material of the 21st century, they add opulence, playfulness and weirdness to my objects. My sculptures are hybrids - installations, huge marionettes and idol figures. I overcome gravity using a technique from marionette theater. Sculptures float in air and strings make them alive. I paint because I'm volatile. I catch all my demons and fears with a brush, so they are not threatening anymore. I'm hesitant, that's why I paint portraits in real time. Models don't have to speak. Sometimes I lay paintings in a horizontal plane, like huge rolls of parchment. The public can touch it, walk and crawl on it, contemplating the importance of daily grounding. I'm a mystic. I borrow deities and create semisacred, eerie spaces where sculptures, paintings, words and animation merge in a numinous, baroque amalgam. I love the tactile. My objects are sensuous to touch. I love word constellations, so there are collections of short stories to accompany the visual work. In a courageous mood, I transform stories into puppet performances and collaborate with theaters and musicians.
