« The simpler the plot, the truer the picture. I am interested in the beauty of a person, both spiritual and inner. Each person has a certain kind of artistry. »
Svetlana Grishkovec-Kiisky, an award-winning Latvian painter, has exhibited her works in Russia, Italy, and Latvia. She finds inspiration in random moments and her works are based on familiar and insignificant events that occur in everyday life. Svetlana considers association and communication to be the purpose of her art. Her artistic style is closely linked to the spirit of expressionism and is translated through oils.

A journey through images and genres
In the spring and summer I live and work outside the city, where many flowers grow. I especially love to paint lilacs, these are very beautiful flowers and they have a variety of colors.
In late spring, lilacs bloom on roadsides, in parks, courtyards and other places, spreading a sweet scent. Who among us has not looked for a happy lilac flower with five petals? ..
This painting is not just a view of Venice — it’s a memory of the days I spent there, my feelings, my impressions.
⠀
The Ponte dei Sospiri appears softly through the light and reflections, as if rising from a dream. I didn’t paint the city as it is — I painted how it felt: the way the sky reflects in the canal, how the bridges dissolve in the morning light, how quiet the city sounds when almost no one is around.
⠀
It’s a work about silence, light, and the emotions that stay with you long after you’ve gone.
“Here I am formed from light and shadow, from roughness and imperfections. This is an image that reflects not my outward appearance, but my inner world — alive, changing, and authentic.”
