Agnese Kurzemniece

Solo exhibition "Naturally"

The Botanist, restorāns, Brīvības iela, Centra rajons, Rīga, Latvija

Painter Agnese Kurzemniece and the art gallery Bazar't invite you to the exhibition "NATURALLY", which can be viewed from January 30 to March 25 in the "THE BOTANIST", Brīvības street 37, Riga.Echoing the idea of THE BOTANIST's indoor gardens, the artist has chosen works for the exhibition that emphasize the search for connection and harmony in man's relationship with nature. Forest, nature, landscape, as well as - the image of a woman - these are two motifs that can be found in many of Agnese paintings and are also present in this exhibition. At the center of each painting is a girl, a portrait of a woman, expressing the author's personal feelings and point of view. On the other hand, the motifs of nature - the forest, the cycles of the seasons, changing moods, light and flowers - are not only a background, but an essential image through which the painter creates emotionally saturated stories. The paintings of the exhibition prove the artist's love for nature, the forest, inviting and inspiring the viewer to appreciate and protect this precious ecosystem of ours.
