Ieva Iltnere ( 1957 )

Ieva Iltnere's painting is associated with very fine and laconic depiction, pronounced aestheticism and colouring, sensitivity, delicate attitude towards each nuances of painting, the artistic quality. It is herspecial way of thinking - how to paint, instead of what to paint.

The depicted plots, if they are present at all, appear only inthe process of work, these deal with painting as such - the association of colours, their closeness and contrasts, the light and the form.

Things encountered in reality, handled with the mediation of Biblical and mythological characters, are created in the exquisite colour scheme of an aesthetic metaphor.
