Anita Arbidāne

I'm an artist from Riga, Latvia

 

My artistic quest is based on an enduring interest in a realistic painting style combined with symbolism, some also call it magical realism. Already at the Janis Rozentals Art School, I was strongly influenced by Realism, Surrealism and Renaissance Art. Later, while studying at the Latvian Academy of Arts, my style developed, became more personal, but the desire to follow the chosen artistic direction became stronger. Visions, ideas, composition and color – these are the things that drive my process. In my works, I try to reveal the true nature of the painted objects, and sincerity is the quality that, in my opinion, gives true value to a good painting.
