Photographer Elina Ruka's series of works "Eternal rustle" was born from thinking about relationships and communication problems. What emotions do we live with, which are we able to express, which are we keeping inside and for which we still do not know how to find a verbal equivalent? How to find a common language? How much do we talk around? How to talk when we are not next to each other?

The exhibition is arranged in the halls and outdoor space of the 1st floor of the Exhibition House.

The creation of the exhibition is supported by the State Cultural Capital Fund.

Working hours of the Bulduri Exhibition House: Sun. - Fri. - Closed, Mon. - Sat. – 10.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m.

Entrance is free.

Valdis Bušs (1924 - 2014), while living in Jūrmala, painted many landscapes of the immediate surroundings. Lielupe, boat piers, yacht regattas, sunset in the bend of the river, snow-covered houses, slender pine trees - these are just some of the scenes depicted in the artist's paintings. In the paintings of Valdis Bušs, we feel both the heat of hot summer and the spelunking of winter, and enjoy a magnificent sunset on the banks of Lielupe.
Painting was a way of life and a necessity for Valdis Bušs. The artist devoted every free moment to his great love - painting. During his long creative life, countless paintings and nature studies were created. Every day, the artist went to paint the landscapes of the immediate surroundings and was waiting for a vacation when he could devote himself only to painting. Not all works are given names, but sometimes a street corner, a characteristic river bay, a boat dock helps to recognize the depicted landscape.
