About the Item
Seated
1974. Oil on canvas, 100x60 cm
The central focus of the artwork is a nude woman seated in a relaxed position. The artist's portrayal captures the beauty and form of the female figure, highlighting its curves, contours, and graceful posture. The woman is depicted with long black hair, which adds to the visual appeal and creates a sense of elegance.
The background of the painting is a dark red color. This choice of a dark red background creates a dramatic and intense atmosphere, enhancing the overall mood of the artwork. The dark background may symbolize depth, mystery, or evoke a sense of passion or sensuality.
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).
