'LAKES SERIES' PAINTINGS

These artworks were inspired by the natural environment of Vilaka lake in Latvia. I created compositions to re-create the reflections of the water lake atmosphere through contrast, expressionism and drawing with charcoal to add texture. These series of works have expressive textures in a green, yellow, blue and some pink palette. All the originals are expressionist landscape acrylic paintings on stretched canvas over wooden bars. Each artwork has several layers of acrylic with rich textures in a delicate blue, green, yellow and pink palette. I added a thin coat of gloss varnish to protect the painting and increase the saturation and brightness of the colors. The artwork was inspired by a residence in Vilaka, Latvia. The originals are part of the Vilaka museum collection.
