Katrīna Gaile was born in 1982 in Riga. Since 2005, she has been participating in exhibitions in Latvia and abroad. She lives in Riga, and in addition to her creative work, she also actively participates in various social and art projects. Since her first exhibitions Katrīna Gaile has been exploring social themes in her art, with humans appearing in almost all her paintings. Katrīna is interested in the metamorphoses of a human soul like age, madness, loneliness. The characters featuring in her paintings are often strangers she has come across by chance, they are nameless but with their own intimate stories, and in the artist’s works, they are transported into a different, expanded and mystical reality.
