ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"I trained at the Academy of Arts in Riga, before moving to Britain in the early 1990s. Having the opportunity to absorb and interpret many different traditions and influences has helped mould me into the artist I am today. I still continue to experiment and search for artistic language without being limited by any particular stylistic boundaries. The only thing that remains unchanged is my interest in changing reality and its connection with tradition. We live in a very curious time, not always joyful - and definitely challenging. In the current totalitarian technocratic situation I find it is especially important to preserve my human response, artistic skills and freedom."
