Gundega Dūduma - was born in Riga, Latvia on march 5, 1977. Painter, photographer, designer.
"In my early childhood parents noticed my eagerness for drawing and decided to give my hearty passion a chance. I am very grateful to them.
I am happy when I paint, therefore my paintings emanate a sort of radiance and lightness.
I’m interested in refined, nuanced tones and sensitivity in all its forms.
I love to capture the feeling that something is happening right here and right now, to live for the moment—an inimitable instant, place, or situation that is preserved forever in my memory. Afterward, I experience this moment again when paint, reanimating the strange beauty that so captivated me.
I adore femininity, graceful movements, unusual beauty, jazz, lingerie, socks, thin cigarettes in long fingers, slender and flexible bodies, radiance, youth, evenings, the sound of high-heeled shoes, the aroma of cigars and perfume, and, above all, a mysterious, sincere, and slightly melancholy soulfulness."
