About the Item
Dancer
1969. Oil on canvas, 92,5x92,5 cm
The artist's portrayal of the dancer captures the grace and elegance associated with ballet. The ballerina's pose and body language convey a sense of poise and serenity, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and skill of the dancer.
Artist employs light tones in the painting, which enhances the overall atmosphere and mood of the artwork. The use of lighter colors may evoke a sense of delicacy, purity, or even a dreamlike quality. The soft and subtle tonal variations in the painting contribute to the overall sense of lightness and ethereality.
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."
