PEACE, HARMONY, TRIED AND TRUE ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC VALUES, DEFINED IN THE SPIRIT OF COSMOGONIC ALLEGORY. IN ITS SUSTAINED RHYTHMS THE SURFACE OF THE CANVAS, SHAPED BY THE TOUCH OF THE ARTIST’S BRUSH, SERVES AS THE COSMIC SPACE OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, ACCENTUATING THE ALLEGORICAL FIGURES ENVELOPED IN FINE, TEXTURED LINES.

DAY – SUMMER, NIGHT – DREAMS, THE COMMUNICATIVE VISIONS OF OUR WORLD AND THE UNIVERSE, SPIRITUALITY AND BEING, THEIR PARALLEL ESSENCE…

THE LINE DRAWN BY IEVA MAURĪTE’S SENSITIVE HAND, ITS TEXTURED NATURE, IS REMINISCENT OF THE GRAPHIC ARTS, IN WHICH THE LINE IS THE DEFINITIVE MEANS OF EXPRESSION. IN THE SAME WAY, THE SURFACE OF THE CANVAS FUNCTIONS AS THE ARTIST’S PROOF OF SOME THOUGHTFORM ON WHICH THE ARTISTIC IDEA IS ETCHED. THE FLOW OF THE LINE IS SENSUOUS, IT SEEKS OUT THE TRUE SHAPE OF THE FIGURE, CREATES ITS CHARACTER. LIGHT PLAYS ON IT AS IF ON A RELIEF, CREATING REFLECTIONS OF SHADOWS AND PEAKS. EXQUISITELY SENSITIVE INTERRELATION OF THE MATERIAL AND THE ARTISTIC IMAGE. EXPANSES. IT ALL RESULTS IN CANVASES THAT ADDRESS THE SPECTATOR. SINCERE AND SIMPLE: INIMITABLE IN THEIR PERFECTION.

P.S.:

THE PRETTY GOLDEN FISH
SWIMS IN THE TURQUOISE SEA.
IT LIVES WITH A CONSTANT FEELING OF BLISS,
FOR ITS HOME IS A TURQUOISE PALACE –
NOW THERE’S A SECRET FOR YOU!
