WINTER BLOSSOMS by painter Patrīcija TIKNUSS and WINTER’S STORIES IN AMBER by jewellery designer Edgars KVJATKOVSKIS
On display until February 17 at Riga Art Nouveau Museum.
Riga Art Nouveau Museum invites everyone to celebrate the white winter and to enjoy its wonderful subtlety and richness. Both – painter Patrīcija Tiknuss and jewellery designer Edgars Kvjatkovskis – had been inspired by the glittering frost and the lightness of snowflakes as well as by the variety of ice patterns, and the beauty of winter’s bloom, lightness and brightness is revealed in their works.
WINTER BLOSSOMS by painter Patrīcija TIKNUSS
By using colour, texture, form and natural elements painter Patrīcija Tiknuss has created a sensitive and intangible vision of the women’s emotional world.
In 1995 she graduated from Painting department of the Art Academy of Latvia where she took classes at I. Zariņš monumental painting workshop. Patrīcija regularly exhibits her works in various shows and solo exhibitions. The main inspiration source for “Winter’s Blossoms”, according to the author, has been French Art Nouveau posters and Pre-Raphaelites paintings.
WINTER’S STORIES IN AMBER by jewellery designer Edgars KVJATKOVSKIS
The elegant and romantic design of amber jewellery by Edgars Kvjatkovskis will delight a viewer allowing everyone to sense the warmth of summer sun very closely.
Edgars Kvjatkovskis has a bachelor’s degree in sculpture and is still studying sculpture for the master’s degree in The Art Academy of Latvia. Under the lifelong learning program Erasmus he has studied in The Art Academy of Munich. Since 1998 he actively takes part in group exhibitions, symposiums and contests both in Latvia and abroad.
