Leisure Painting

I have a strong academic background, but over the last 10 years, oil paints have been replaced by acrylic paints. However, the interest in exploring humans in the broadest sense has remained unchanged. The images and themes are capacious and ambiguous, I have my own set of limited symbolic images, among wich the woman clearly plays a key role. It has unique, recognizable proportions and distortions. Through my artistic practice, I try to understand and feel some of the general patterns that nature and man live by. How we influence each other, how we shape each other, what are these archetypes, which explains our deepest interactions. Living through my personal experience and at the same time observing the world around me - people and nature, I find visual and poetic parallels embodied in universal schemes. Where landcapes are a lyrical scenographic background for the versatility of the inner world of man. I am concerned about the beauty and tragedy of life, the order and constancy of its flow, in which the brevity and uniqueness of each individual moment is drowned. Through symbolism and surreal scenes, I try to comprehend the world in which I am and of which I am a part. Pieces of my work are featured in private collections worldwide, also in Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre, in Ogre History and Art Museum and Ventspils Museum. I'm a member of the Union of Latvian Artists Union and the Graphics Chamber of Riga. Several prize winner. Participating in the Venice Biennale 2022, within the framework of ARTBOX.PROJECT Venezia 1.0.
