About the Item

Dreamer. 1996. Oil on cardboard, 83x90 cm This depiction of young nude woman lying down on green blue surface shows artist Laimdots Murnieks as a master of forms and color field areas. 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). He worked as a teacher in secondary schools of Valmiera and Priekuli, in agricultural technical school (1944 – 46), and in the company “Art” as a design artist (1953 – 82). L.

Daydream - Original Figurative Acrylic Painting on Canvas
By Ekaterina More
Located in Los Angeles, CA
The centerpieces of Ekaterina’s paintings are feminine forms that, sensuously but self-assuredly identify themselves with their role. Along with single figures, we also find groups or pairs of women touching, caressing, or casting each other promising glances. Expressive faces with large, bright almond eyes, much like those of the artist herself. The erotic depiction as it is expressed here has a very personal characteristic. Perhaps this authenticity is the deciding factor in its effect. Ekaterina’s paintings are in a sense a painted diary of sensual daydreams. Dreams which, deep down, many of us share. Ekaterina Moré´s work touches the emotional world of the viewer in a most pleasant fashion. Her sensitive grasp of the interaction between color and form is the basis for her impressive compositions. This one-of-a-kind 28" tall by 38" wide original artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this unique artwork are painted black. It does not require framing. It is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable US and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity by Los Angeles art gallery Artspace Warehouse is included. Ekaterina More's artworks have been exhibited and are collected worldwide. 1976 Born in St.Petersburg, Russia 1996 Relocation to Germany 2001 First exhibitions in fine-art galleries 2003 Glass collections for Ritzenhoff AG 2004 Glass und porcelain collections for Rosenthal AG 2005 Large scale paintings for entire bar at Maritim-Hotel in Berlin Since 2001 Various solo exhibitions in Germany: Berlin (Galerie Richter), Munich (Andreas Baumgartl), Hamburg (Galerie Udo Lindenberg...
