The Elevator Painting

Inta Gloda is a painter from Riga, Latvia, with over 10 years experience in the field, dedicated to exploring the intricate language of visual art, integrating various aspects of her studies and creative journey in the illustrative poster-like depictions of nature, animals, and seemingly familiar places. The artist is expressing fascination with the mystical experiences in preliterate societies, ancient mythologies, the paradoxical and exciting aspects of human psyche, and encouraging free interpretation, which provides a new layer to the stories told by the paintings and develops the interplay of light and reflections with viewer's own unique meaning. She works mainly with oil and acrylic paint, sometimes watercolor, but not exclusively, also integrating unconventional materials, techniques and experimenting with mediums. Vast part of Inta Gloda's paintings feature nature and its' different sides, shapes, contrasts, displaying bright and, at times, surreal shapes and colors, on the edge of dream and reality.
