Twice he participated in the Biennale of Tallinn. He has worked and exhibited works together with the most famous artists of Latvia, the Baltic States and other countries.
After the geopolitical situation change in 1989-1991, when Latvia gained independence from the Union Zaikins status in the Latvian artistic field has changed dramatically. Zaikins was named as collaborator of State Security Committee, and was expelled from the Latvian art world - his works was not accepted at the exhibitions, his name was not mentioned in art magazines and in the books about the artists.
Meanwhile Zaikins continued to paint in his characteristic technique with recognizable motifs - mixing basic colors and merging them together. Zaikins art motives are cosmic landscapes with a variety of creatures. Zaikin painted works, one after another, and sold them by himself. Such type of activity Zaikins has maintained for 26 years and continues to paint. According to the artist, it may be about 30 000 paintings, which have been sold.

- Don't Forget Me by Amy Sullivan Contemporary Dog Painting with DogBy Amy SullivanLocated in Atlanta, GAIt only took us a second to fall in love with Amy Sullivan's abstracted barns and structures. Oozing with texture and media, her large-scale and slightly off-kilter renditions of the familiar shapes take on a whole new meaning that are simultaneously, as Amy says, "ever elusive and always familiar." Her beautiful tonal and abstracted landscapes are full of complexity that the layers of medium bring. Sullivan says, "My process is an intuitive exploration of simplicity. I am fascinated with negative spaces contradicted by positive mark-making." She likes to begin her paintings with a small study in oil and wax (which are as lovely as the finished pieces, we promise you!) And then, with her keen eye, she searches for the potential of intrigue and paradox. "Carving into the wax and paint, penetrating masses of space with sharp edges, I respond to the tension of defining space and object in an almost sensual way," she tells us. We especially appreciate the way Amy describes that fleeting moment when she knows a painting is complete: "Ever intrigued with the irony of painting, I wait for the voice that says ‘hurry, hurry'. When I'm finished, and I know that the work is complete, there is a feeling inside that says you're home...Category
