Originally I’m from Latvia (Eastern Europe). I’ve been doing art since I was a kid. I attended art school and then Art & Design College. I was always more drawn to painting, especially portraits. Later I discovered a quilling technique which is a 3D paper artform. Sometimes I combine the two techniques in my work. I’m obsessed with bright colours, contrast, patterns, and movement in art. I’ve always been inspired by street art, Renaissance paintings and Constructivist art.
