작품 상세

Ilmars Blumbergs ( 1943 – 2016), through his existential and consise works of art, has long earned a status of icon among the artists of his generation in Latvia. What has made him just as relatable after his death as during the lifetime, is the subject matter of his works - including relationship between life and death and the indivual. He himself has stated, that the main subjects in his artworks were LOVE, DEATH and GOD. Ilmars Blumbergs oeuvre is rooted in common human search for truth, questions and answers about our existence on Earth. A man is in search of eternal peace, the beginning of this quest we must find within ourselves and only afterwards transfer it to family, community, country. Through drawings and paintings Ilmars Blumbergs attempts to explore his own inner reality - the highest self, which also is the intangible string uniting all that exists.
