About the Item
City - roses
1988. Oil on cardboard 100x80 cm
The composition features a vibrant arrangement of roses positioned on a windowsill, set against a stylized cityscape that represents the city of Riga. The juxtaposition of the roses against the cityscape creates an interesting contrast. The organic and natural beauty of the flowers contrasts with the man-made structures and urban environment of the cityscape. This contrast
symbolizes the harmony or tension between nature and the urban landscape.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."

"Roses" is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the essence of a classic still life. Set against a subdued, yet striking grey background, the focal point of the artwork is a lush arrangement of vibrant red roses, exuding elegance and allure. The artist has skillfully portrayed the delicate petals of the roses, meticulously capturing their velvety texture and intricate details. Each blossom appears to be in various stages of bloom, showcasing the ephemeral nature of life and the passing of time. The roses are elegantly arranged in a graceful green vase, adding a refreshing burst of color to the composition. The artist has paid careful attention to the vase, with its gentle curves and subtle variations in hue, lending a sense of realism and depth to the painting. The contrast between the radiant red roses and the cool grey backdrop creates a visually captivating effect, enhancing the prominence of the floral arrangement. The grey background, while muted, provides a neutral and harmonious setting that allows the vibrant roses to take center stage. The painting "Roses" is a celebration of nature's beauty and serves as a timeless reminder of the fragility and transience of life. Through its masterful use of color, composition, and attention to detail, this oil painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in the serenity and elegance of a classic still life.
