Artist Resume

Evija Freidenfelde-Sedleniece (EFS)
Born October 25, 1966, Latvia

Education – autodidact

In my paintings I focus on the emotions and senses that suddenly arise in relation to the motif I've chosen to paint. Paintings are like multiplications of my senses so they vary in motifs and execution. Personally, I prefer oil painting.

My emotional life can be described as a foaming cocktail of excesses, which seeks to rein in all ways, and arrange to be easier to live. Everyday at work I am far away from art, self-mastery in the prosecutors work is more than necessary. I'm happy to be able to express their emotions painting
In his oil paintings have laid the emotions and feelings, which are gathered and suddenly remind you of yourself, without peace as long as they've made images and color. If you come in my life and I can immediately resort to painting, the work is usually finished in a single step. If there is no chance now to paint, I recording idea or drawing. Then scanned on a computer, and committed to the idea of digital.
Their activity in the result I find it difficult to predict. I start with one and finish with a completely different idea choose paint from at least dozens of sketches , which is the current mood is most acute.
Painting at the time not trying to necessarily stick to the sketch, because it's boring. .Images sketch is the entrance in the sense of the world where travel itinerary is unpredictable, it is found only at the end of painting.
I do not have favorite colors and favorite flowers. I believe that it is boring. For the same reason, have not adhered to a single style of painting and I do not have favorite colors. Because it would be boring. I like to experiment, get lost and brad?ties through the jungle of art. Maybe I am thoroughly get lost there, but it gives satisfaction. My first personal exhibition I have as a reference point to start something new, but the old have been removed to the countryside and lay in the attic. Their dreams did not want to cremate.

When I create a painting, never previously thought that the result will be work which decorate to a wall. The content of paintings are interested first and foremost, just me. Nice to have after they get someone else to whom the paintings content and the idea seems pleasantly, and current. My paintings are the beauty in substandard women and artistic medium deformed nature and the environment. To paraphrase Kurt Vonnegut : "My art is like gravity broken soul flight".
