About the Item
The road to the sun
1996, cardboard, oil, 74x85 cm
The composition depicts a landscape where a road leads towards the sun, with the sea visible in the background.
The focal point of the painting is the road that stretches into the distance, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The road symbolizes a journey or a path towards something significant. It invites the viewer to imagine embarking on an adventure or pursuing their dreams.
The sun plays a central role in the composition, radiating warm and vibrant colors.
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."
