As a self-taught artist specializing in oil painting, Liga’s journey is a profound exploration of identity, inspired by her Latvian heritage and the rich traditions of her homeland. Born in Latvia, she now lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Liga has been passionate about art from young age but moved on to study international business management at university. She rediscovered her love for painting in her late 20s after joining a local painting group. Her paintings are greatly influenced by her curiosity about human mind and the way we interact with each other. Drawing inspiration from her love for dark fantasy films, her portrait paintings explore paradoxes and polarities connected with our inner and outer worlds. Working with thin layers of oil paint allows Liga to give to the figures a soft, luminous, and human-like effect whilst keeping them otherwise mysterious and alien. Since embarking on her professional art journey in 2023, her work has been exhibited across London, Barcelona, Madrid and Luxembourg. Liga has been honoured with Certificates of Artistic Achievement from The Pinacotheque Museum in Luxembourg in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Her art has also been featured in prominent publications such as Vulva fanzine magazine in Madrid, Devide magazine internationally, Artmosphere magazine in Barcelona and Megazine in London.
