Biography
For the last twenty years I have been living in Leeds City, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The beautiful scenery of Yorkshire widens my creativity. Here there is some kind mix of different forms of nature, it’s like Italy, France, Spain and Latvia all in one. In my paintings, I devote much attention to the play of colours, line and plot. I convey my vision of the world with colours and images, but the plot plays a special role.
The paintings were created mainly during my travels. I try to perceive the world not only in my native Latvia, but also in other countries. Each painting has its own story. Some tell about scenic mountains of Tuscany, the magic cathedrals of Italy. Perhaps, there are stories about Britain’s magical gardens or a cat that brings warmth and peace to home. A woman waiting for the love of her lifetime…
