Ģirts Muižnieks ( 1956 )

Ģirts Muižnieks' paintings are like poetry or a subjective philosophical treatise. He seems to be painting only when loving, because his works are saturated with emotions. Even the sadness and loneliness painted by the artist are beautiful. Ģirts Muižnieks is able to work on any surface with any paints, since the very process of painting, being engaged in it is the essential. He superbly combines the elements of abstract  art- wide brush strokes, pouring, drops of paint, scratching, glazing- with the forms of realistic expression- female figure, eyes, eyelashes, lips, flowers, creating semi-abstract and dynamic compositions.
