happy new year!

I do lists of works to do and summits to attain on a small scraps of paper in the beginning of new years, and I loose those scraps a week later usually.

But I found my last years’ list while cleaning my studio today. And i was amazed to see that all has fulfilled with no pain, with no struggle and peacefully.

This’s been a strange strange year. lots of disclosures and ruminations.

new amazing gateways have opened a short while after a lot of old ones have closed a bit painfully.

Life is magical!

SCIENCE OF SLEEP

Some small part of my "Science of Sleep" series is exhibited in the tiny beautiful Latvian city Sigulda, in the Baltais Flīģelis. It is a soft white little winter solo, if you happen to pass by, come in and have a look!

SUBTLETIES OF CHARACTER show

I'm working and working and working at some wonderful curious projects now, more info coming in the near future. But for now - I'm going to have a few works in a new group show which is going to open in the 10th of December and run through 15th of January. It is curated by a wonderful artist and dear friend Dan Barry and features some truly amazing and inspiring artists. Go to the WWA gallery to be added to the preview list, and have fun being one of the first to see and acquire their new wonders!

And what is most exciting - the painting on the invitations etc. is my "The most delicious bloom"! It is such an honour to be in the front of this AMAZING lineup, as the show includes some of my very favorite artists as well as some friends!!

Beside this one, I'm going to have 3 more drawings on wood in the show, so you are very much welcome to drop in if you happen to spend the December in the sunny California!

More pictures coming after the show opens, this is just a teaser ;)
