Regular price € 18.00

The album of artist Sigita Daugule (1971) which includes more than 150 reproductions of her works, Dace Lamberga’s essay about the artist, as well as Laima Slava‘s conversation with Daugule.

“To a large degree, Sigita Daugule’s personality reflects typical aspects of the artist in the late 20th and early 21st century: a powerful intellect, a diverse range of interests, logical yet unorthodox thinking, pronounced individuality and independence combined with refined interpersonal skills. The latest discoveries in painting technology are vital tools in conjuring up imagery and associations, expressing individual discoveries, reflections and evaluations of the world. Sigita’s creative expression successfully embodies both the rational and irrational; the fascinating surface texture in every painting has a magnet like quality drawing the attention from impressive general view to close-up. Her art will be appreciated by the aesthetic, intellectual observer accustomed to examining and analysing in depth, desirous of feeling the true essence of painting." (Dace Lamberga)

I loved what Vineta Kaulača said in an interview: painting is an eternal present tense. A good painting – whether it’s the “little Dutchmen” or Giotto – is suspended in time, but this time extends to the present day. It exists now, before and after – it is omnipresent time. I totally agree! Painting is an eternal present moment. If you are able to put a concrete event or the essence of something into a painting and it is well done, then it extends into eternity.
