Vija Zariņa about her exhibition “ Painted Nature”

In my artworks I focus on what can be imagined and felt; in other words, that what cannot be expressed verbally but can only be painted. With my paintings I aspire to elicit both a visual and an emotional response in viewers.

For me, a painting shouldn’t reveal itself at once. It has to be carefully observed.

My paintings present my world view, my values and my understanding of everything that is significant and precious to me in life and art.
