About the Item
Portrait
Oil on cardboard, 100x92 cm
The central focus of the artwork is a woman seated gracefully, elegantly adorned in a beautiful blue dress. Her presence dominates the composition, drawing the viewer's attention. The juxtaposition of the woman and the natural elements in the painting conveys a sense of harmony and interconnectedness between humanity and the environment. The artist's careful attention to detail and mastery of color and composition evoke a serene and contemplative mood, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty of both the subject and the surrounding landscape.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."
Laimdots Murnieks (1922-2011) studied at Cesis and Jelgava teachers’ institutes (1938 – 44). He graduated from the Painting Department of the Latvian Art Academy (1953, diploma work “Winged helper”, under the guidance of V. Kozins).
