About the Item

Romantic sunset 1995. Cardboard, oil, 90x83 cm The painting portrays a romantic scene featuring a captivating red sunset. The artist skillfully utilizes oil paints to capture the vibrant and warm tones of the setting sun, creating a romantic and atmospheric ambiance. In the foreground, dark trees are depicted, contrasting against the vibrant sky. These trees add depth and visual interest to the composition, creating a sense of mystery and enhancing the romantic mood. Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love." Laimdots Murnieks (1922-2011) studied at Cesis and Jelgava teachers’ institutes (1938 – 44). He graduated from the Painting Department of the Latvian Art Academy (1953, diploma work “Winged helper”, under the guidance of V. Kozins). He worked as a teacher in secondary schools of Valmiera and Priekuli, in agricultural technical school (1944 – 46), and in the company “Art” as a design artist (1953 – 82). L.
