My practice moves between the sacred and the social. I create visual worlds that blend personal mythology with collective memory, allowing viewers to enter spaces where symbols and archetypes come alive. As a multidisciplinary artist, I work with painting, performance, puppet theatre, installation, and film—united by a single purpose: to illuminate what society leaves invisible.

My paintings, particularly in the Tarot of Invisible Longing series, reinterpret classical archetypes through a poetic and feminine lens. They are emotionally charged landscapes where animal, human, and fantastical forms coexist in surreal harmony. I use layered watercolor, ink, tea, gold leaf and pastel techniques on paper, embracing its fragility as a metaphor for the human condition. Each work functions as a portal into another state of being.

In parallel, I explore the quiet dignity and resilience of marginalized lives. Do Touch the Angels grew out of my time in a pediatric oncology ward, where I asked children—too weak to paint—to model for portraits. They honor vulnerability and celebrate transformation, framing illness as a space where magic and tragedy coexist. Projects like Invertebrates investigate the social invisibility of single mothers in Latvia, transforming silence and stigma into visual testimony.

Creative collaboration is essential to my work. Whether performing with musicians in 1001 Hildegard or animating Latvia's tragic history in Pauline’s Story, I treat every medium as a spiritual and narrative extension. The theatrical elements—puppets, masks, marionettes—let me embody multiple identities while commenting on societal structures.

I believe in art that engages with the subconscious and finds radical beauty in what is overlooked or broken. I invite viewers into mythic realms that question what it means to be human, to be forgotten, to be divine. Through dreamlike storytelling and symbolic density, I seek to build bridges between people, places, and possibilities.
