Borgs“Juris Dimiters. Plakāti” – R.: Iespiests Jelgavas tipogrāfijā, Rīga, 2014. Juris Dimiters is among the most intellectual and witty artists of his generation. The characters of his works – paintings and posters – mostly are anthropomorphized fruits and objects. Placed within games of mutual interrelationships, they have become actors in the theatre directed by the artist. Over time the personages of the still-life have constantly transformed and migrated both among groups of work and media, embodying new roles in each of them. Nevertheless, they have always actively commented on one of three subjects – power, society and the everyday. J. Dimiters’ paintings and posters strike...

"1- Where did the inspiration come from for this piece? Painting ""Traffic"" from the series about Space, Universe, and Time. I am a polystylist painter, I paint pictures in different techniques and in different genres. A long time ago I started a series of subject-abstract paintings on the theme of Space, Universe, and Time. And also Love, Music, Nature and Women. When I work on a painting, I select and listen to a beautiful melody and paint the picture with a great feeling of Love. Collected from myths, legends and real life, these images have always excited my brain. And finally, I gave free rein to my feelings and creative impulse and began to embody these images on canvases. So that they finally find a different life and can give room for thoughts and fantasies to everyone who will be interested. When I start painting, my heartbeat rises from the expectation of a meeting with the canvas and a great desire to paint, I begin to tremble with my whole body, the muscles on my back are straining, up to cramps, and this feeling and inspiration does not let me go, all the while I paint the picture. This is akin to the feeling of having a first kiss or wanting to possess a girl. The feeling that now will happen, that something beautiful and unique. You experience the same strong feelings in childhood when you sneak up on a bird or a butterfly before you grab and catch it! And in the work on the picture there is in these feelings and almost physical suffering: foresight that now you will create a masterpiece! And this is repeated almost every time - either in front of a blank canvas or an image that comes to mind ... 2 - What is the creative process when creating your vibrant abstract art...
