About the Item
Still life
1974. Oil on canvas, 92x100 cm
Painting features stylized composition of flowers in a vase with oranges on a white tablecloth. The artwork showcases the artist's unique interpretation of the subject, incorporating elements of abstraction and expressive techniques. The vibrant colors, organic forms, and stylized approach contribute to the overall visual impact and artistic expression of the piece.
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).
