I am from Latvia. I have been painting since I was little. For me, art is meditation, a very spiritual process. I put a piece of my soul into it. I would like to inspire others with my work. Create feelings of happiness and harmony. In my opinion, it's quite captivating to show this through nature. I find its colors, flowing lines and forms especially intriguing. I hope this reflects in my work.
While painting, I use a palette knife, instead of paintbrushes to create textures, as well as backgrounds for my paintings. I have had 12 solo art exhibitions.
Regarding my education, I have a degree in psychology and have attended art school. I am a
professional artist with 17 years of experience.
