Solveiga

I was born in Latvia. After spending a fabulous childhood in Riga within an artistic and creative environment of post-soviet decadence, I left for Finland in 1992 to study at the University of Art and Design of Helsinki. 5 years later, in 1997, my passion for travel pushed me further: I discovered France and Paris and finished there my master studies of fashion design in French Fashion Institute (IFM). I felt in love with this fabulous country, forgot to move on, and finally settled down and founded family. That’s how I still live in France.
Painting for me is the way to tell the story about how I see the world. Sharing my love of Color, Light and Beauty. I travel a lot, and all emotions and experiences becomes my notes, photos and sketches. And once back at home, I paint, getting my inspiration from all these treasures.
