About The Artwork

At this point, the unexpected stay in this small Spanish village had extended to four months. There was still no opportunity to move due to the events of 2020. I had walked the small village of Cervera del Maestre criss-cross and by now knew every street and corner. I kept looking for more details and this seemingly simple, old, patched up wall held something of a treasure for my eye; my favourite exercise, try and figure out what was there before, what was the intention behind the change. An elegant door arch replaced with a small, humble window. I hear that at the time when these houses were built, the type of arch or lintel above the entrance door signified how wealthy the owner of the house is. The bigger and more complex the stone blocks around the door, the richer the family. The simple, poorer ones were using an olive tree trunk. This kind of symbolism and tradition must have lost its importance by the time this small window replaced the meaningful door and its frame. The original was drawn on a semi-gloss paper and 0.38 ballpoint pen.

Although for the last 10 years London was my home (originally born in Latvia), currently I am a backpacker moving through Europe crisscross. In 2019 I left my office job in London and in late autumn headed out on a volunteering trip. I wanted to learn if I can find a different use of my architectural skills through natural building and learn to live with the unknown while having all my personal belonging fitted in one backpack. Drawing became my companion. I recorded the visual experiences of my journeys through the subject closest to my heart - architecture. Each drawing is not only an image, there is a unique story and location behind every one of them. And behind each story, there is a more personal experience. And the combination of it all is what I am looking to share with the world. The technique of black and white ink drawings was always attractive to me. Daring to work with a pen directly on paper was the very opposite of my character. The wobbly and chaotic line work became a rebelliousness against the fear of making a mistake. It's an attempt to break the notion of right, wrong and proper. Many lines that are seemingly all over the place in wrong directions come together to create the final image.
