Born 1971, Riga, Latvia Painting and Graphic Design. Participation in Exhibitions since 1995. I have an idea, that peoples are living in layered universe, with many worlds. Peoples are playing social, cultural, political roles, but also we have deep connection and are depending from invisible things in us and surround us. I'll find the visual language to show this idea.
