a picture I made last week when I needed to find a calm place and put my thoughts in order.
Perfect Memories
This project started whilst doing a Saint Martins short illustration course early this year. It made me rethink many aspects of my works ( media, techniques, used materials, themes, etc etc) and challenge them. The first project was calledSometimes it's good to lie? Where we had to explore and present our ideas about lies. I went into researching lies within memories. How sometimes our memories can create a fake reality of an existing place or event. Memory can become stronger and more real than the reality itself.
In this post (from bottom to the top) you can see the development of the idea and change of the used materials and technique. Click on images to enlarge!

illustrations for CD and DVD "Viegli", a music project with some fine jewels of Latvian music and literature.
Last month was a very very exciting one, as I was asked to produce illustrations for a new music collaboration between colossal Latvian poet Imants Ziedonis ( a very influential person in my life, I grew up with his beautiful and challenging writing) and some of the finest jewels of Latvian music ( Renars Kaupers, Janis Holsteins- Upmanis, Mara Upmane -Holsteina, Raimonds Gusarevs, Karlis Kazaks and Janis Strapcans).
Here is a screenshot of the project's website, I will post the illustrations as soon as the CD and the film is released on May1st. You can listen to the songs here: http://www.fondsviegli.lv/albums-viegli

january 15th
I've been experimenting a little bit more with collage, and this is what I made last night. It came out of simple conversation with mr Benjamin Kitchen. I was basicly getting too excited that spring is near, the daffodils are shooting out of the defrosted ground and the winter is over, when he looked at me and said: Darling, there's still two long months of cold winter to come. Ok. I'll wait a little longer.
