Daina Dagnija is a legendary and prominent figure in the context of both Latvian and international visual art – part of her life and creative endeavours have taken place in the US. The tipically Latvian colouristic approach has merged and mingled with the world art tendencies in her creative work for many decades. In 2017 Daina Dagnija celebrated her 80th birthday. The retrospective will showcase the creative life of Daina Dagnija, ranging from the works of her youth in the US to the most recent works, created in Riga.

The notion behind the retrospective of Daina Dagnija is to depict the fate of a creative individual in the context of the turning points of the ages. A significant Daina Dagnija's contribution to the Latvian art is the interpretation of the national mythology in visual arts. For decades the artworks of Daina Dagnija have been imbued with the themes of folksongs, magical chants, and Latvian national history in the widest range of stylistic approaches.

The exposition is arranged chronologically; the oldest artwork was painted by the artist at the age of 16, and the newest works will also be up for viewing.

Free entrance.
