Sunflowers. 1999. Oil on canvas. 100x81 cm
This depiction of sunflowers shows artist Laimdots Murnieks as a master of nature representation. Colors and decoratively captured flowers on light blue background evokes the feeling of a sunny day.
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."
