From 1968 till 1975 I
studied in the School of Arts
in Riga. In 1982 I graduated
from the Latvian State Academy
of Arts. This Academy was and
still is considered Latvian
most prestigious unversity of
the fine arts. I specialized
in theater stage painting and
have designed the sets for a
number of theater productions.
I have been painting since my
graduation from university.
For 10 years, I taught visual
and fine art history.In 2001 I
moved to Toronto, Canada.
Many of my paintings are in
private collections in Latvia,
Russia, Germany, Belgium,
Sweden, Finland, Canada and
the USA.
My favorite hobby is
travelling, which inspires me
in my artist work greatly. The
most important in my work is
to express my emotions and
feelings. In my earlier works
painting was more connected
with subject than in my
latest. Now I'm paying more
attention to the rythm and
coloure. I like to improvise
and use opportunity of
unexpected moments which
happen during my work.
I have a lot of plans and hope
to fulfil them in future. ...
