Sandra Strēle's solo exhibition 'Look, a goldfish in the waves on the shore!' opens on March 12 at the 'Māksla XO' gallery, showcasing a series influenced by primitive plants, mushrooms, and other themes.
The upcoming solo exhibition of Sandra Strēle titled 'Look, a goldfish in the waves on the shore!' will be inaugurated on March 12 at the 'Māksla XO' gallery. The exhibition explores a variety of themes including primitive plants, mushrooms, jellyfish, and dwarfs, which have become significant motifs in her new series. Strēle is known for her unique approach to artistry, where elements of nature intertwine with abstract visuals, reflecting the essence of life and growth.
In an interview, Strēle expressed the challenges of finding time to create art, particularly as she juggles her responsibilities as a mother to a young daughter. However, with the support of her partner, who is currently on parental leave, Strēle manages to balance her painting with parenting, often using the quiet moments when her daughter is occupied to dive into her work. The serene environment, amplified by the sounds of birds chirping from nearby Ziedoņdārzs, plays a crucial role in her creative process.
The recurring theme of water as a unifying substance is anticipated to continue into her next exhibition, showcasing her commitment to exploring and expanding the depth of her artistic vision. As she navigates motherhood alongside her passion for painting, Strēle’s work continues to resonate with both personal and universal themes, inviting audiences to engage with the natural elements that inspire her art.
