  • Biography
    For me to become an artist was pretty easy. Colours, brushes, canvases followed me around since early childhood, as I come from  artist family of several generations. Participating in exhibitions since sweet sixteen, I won several awards, the most important being the opportunity to spend some time in Vienna City, Austria where I discovered F. Hundertwasser’s art which really inspired me. Other inspiring names in art for me are Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso.
    For the last seventeen 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…

Biography

For me to become an artist was pretty easy. Colours, brushes, canvases followed me around since early childhood, as I come from  artist family of several generations. Participating in exhibitions since sweet sixteen, I won several awards, the most important being the opportunity to spend some time in Vienna City, Austria where I discovered F. Hundertwasser’s art which really inspired me. Other inspiring names in art for me are Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso.
For the last seventeen 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.
