Speaking of her artworks, Ilze Laizāne says:
"In every human being there is a source which is known as spirit or soul, that maintains one's inner serenity. This calm is the force that I use to create my artworks, attempting to influence my viewers in a positive way and allowing them to enjoy the energy and rhythm of the paintings. The exhibited works express emotions, brought about by unconscious ideas drawn from the surrounding nature and transformed via me into works of art. Nature is my source of inspiration in the process of creation, the depiction of nature in my paintings lets everyone experience its essence. The portrayed characters may be depicted as mythological, symbolic beings which are closely tied with nature. I pay special attention to the role of subconsciousness, dreams and imagination."

Ilze's artworks are painted in oil media, combined with graphic drawing. The painter works in realistic approach. Her paintings depict symbolic, figural compositions, and a true story, a secret hides behind their beauty.

Ilze Laizāne has graduated the Art Academy of Latvia in 2014, where she studied in Glass art, Graphics and Painting departments. She actively participates in the creative processes in Latvia and abroad - in Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, Germany and Lithuania.
