LIENE LIEPINA
Before starting to paint, Latvian-born artist Liene plays music and surrounds herself with beautiful flowers in order to fully immerse herself in the world of art. During her studies at the Art Academy of Latvia, she reproduced paintings by the Old Masters and learned how to build up a painting one layer at a time. Today, she continues to refine her knowledge and techniques by keeping up-to-date with art trends and discovering new artists. She uses oil colours, brushes and linen canvas that she makes herself using wood panels bought from a local woodworker. This, she believes, makes the canvas more precious. Her animal creations incorporate several different styles, including social realism and fantasy. Liene says: “Each painting requires enormous patience, precision, determination and energy. I put a lot of love, joy, humour and positive energy into my paintings. I reflect myself onto paintings, thus giving them character and personality. Painting encapsulates my thoughts, passion and lifestyle.”
