ABOUT

Svetlana Klaise (b. 1978, Svetlana Klaiše - latv.) is a self-taught artist based in Latvia who began painting later in life after working in banking. While art and travel have always attracted her, in 2019 she started taking lessons at a local art studio. There she experiments with various styles including abstraction, landscapes, portraits and genre scenes to capture her emotional impressions of beauty in the world.

Much of Klaise’s work draws from personal memories and contemplations about childhood, family, nature. She employs thoughtful composition and color contrasts to express meaning rather than pursue photorealism. Through her vivid, evocative paintings she aims to share her inner world and hopes they will resonate with viewers. Klaise continues developing her skills as she finds great joy in translating impressions from life into compelling artwork.
