Kristaps Zariņš (1962)

Kristaps Zariņš works with colour and form, founded in realism, which he is simuntaneously trying to combine with plane painting.

His most frequently chosen form is the image of a woman, which transforms into the strong mythological character Judith, caryatides, supple flowers or the personifications of ages.

Sometimes the woman is just a woman, in some other instances her body is transformed into a background for excellent interaction between colours, the warm and the cool.

Kristaps Zariņš' painting is unfettered and friendly. It has its share of irony or heated emotions; however, the content never prevails.

Red is the colour that he feels the best.
