Influences:
My painting has been influenced by Mirķ (I am very attracted to symbolism and geometry), Chagall and Kandinsky (for their spontaneity and naīveté) and Frida Kahlo (for the strenght of her colors and herself). In my recent work there is also an influence by Juliet Shubart, living artist who I recently met, for the positive energy she gathers from Nature.
