About the Item
City at night
1995, oil on cardboard, 90x83 cm
Painting portrays a dark landscape with trees and buildings rendered in purple colors, capturing the ambiance and mystery of a cityscape at night. The presence of the moon in the background sky adds a touch of enchantment to the scene, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the nocturnal atmosphere of the artwork.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."
Laimdots Murnieks (1922-2011) studied at Cesis and Jelgava teachers’ institutes (1938 – 44). He graduated from the Painting Department of the Latvian Art Academy (1953, diploma work “Winged helper”, under the guidance of V. Kozins).
