Exhibition "Woman and the Sea" by painter Ivonna Zīle at Jurmala Museum

The painter Ivonna Zīle (1980) says about her exhibition "Woman and the Sea": "I have realised that the changeability and beauty of the sea has an unlimited range of colours, textures and moods. When painting the sea and trying to get closer to it, women involuntarily came into my vision. Those who were by my side and those who simply caught my eye. I was looking for my female counterparts, for my female belonging, observing them and at the same time observing myself. What is a woman thinking when she looks at the horizon, when she wades through the heavy sand and breathes in the sea air, when she hears the sound of the waves and the whisper of the wind?"

Ivonna Zīle's work involves painting abstract compositions, experimenting with acrylic and different media, expanding the possibilities of acrylic painting, as well as working with stylistic issues and the transformation of landscape into abstraction, drawing on her plein air experience.

Opening hours: Mon.,Tue. - closed, Wen. - Sun. - 10.00 - 17.00.

The exhibition is on view from 14 February to 17 March.
