THE STORY
I was born in Latvia.
After spending a fabulous childhood in Riga within an Artistic and Creative environment of Post Soviet decadence, I left for Finland in 1992 to study at the University of Art and Design of Helsinki.

I felt in love with the city, forgot to move on, and finally settled down and founded family.
That's how I still live in France.

I travel a lot, and all emotions and experiences becomes my notes, photos and sketches.
And once back at home, I paint, getting my inspiration from all these treasures. Mixing the memories with dreams, a reality with a fiction.
I love to paint Urban Landscapes of New York, and Hong Kong...
But then I need to get back to the beautiful serenity of Asia and colorfull lightness of Med...
