Gundega Duduma is a painter and sculptor born in 1977, Riga, Latvia. She is currently based in Riga, Latvia. Her art represents and honors the beauty of life. Every human experiences contradictions; beauty and darkness, love and loneliness, peace and chaos. There is no answer, there is no beginning and no end, there are just a series of moments. Gundega Duduma is very thankful to the universe and to God that she has been given this talent and a unique way to express how she sees the World. Her visual imagery and work technique exudes a unique aesthetic and a powerful positive energy. When she paints with acrylic and oil she layers emotions with impeccable substances and she captivates the viewer with a shared deep emotional experience. Another powerful medium, and a favorite of hers, is charcoal because it can create a velvet ebony shade that plays beautifully with gold, silver, and vibrant tones. Gundega Duduma loves to make her own canvases for paintings using fabrics with designs and textures. This creates a story with her art where the fabric acts as the first page to an artistic journey. For her textiles, she hand picks high quality furniture fabrics that she often sews up together to showcase different patterns and textures. By adding multiple fabrics together you are able to observe the painting differently based on the angle you view it from, this creates a very unique experience for the beholder. She uses miscellaneous objects and materials such as pearls, gold and silver leaf, bronze tones, and other small objects to create a cohesive piece of art that looks multidimensional, fascinating, and alive.
