About the Item
Sunny Riga
1998, oil on cardboard, 83x90 cm
The composition depicts a landscape where trees are situated in front of a view of the city, which is bathed in sunlight.
The focal point of the painting is the cityscape, which is illuminated by the bright sun. The artist has captured the vibrant and energetic atmosphere of a sunny day, portraying the city with a sense of warmth and vitality. The sunlight casts soft shadows and creates a play of light and dark, adding depth and dimension to the scene.
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).
