Marta Viktorija Agruma ^{Emerging artist}

Artist's country of origin: Latvia

Marta Viktorija Agruma is a visual artist based in Riga, Latvia. Her main artistic interest is the process of abstraction which Marta Viktorija explores in the form of objects, paintings and video, working with different materialities, textures and object transparency. The visual research has resulted in the series “The Cloud at the Edge of the World” (2020-ongoing), a solo show “Refreshing Rhizome” (2021, DOM gallery, Riga, Latvia), and is continued in a body of work called “The Cloud Of Unknowing 101-112” (2023). When things get too cloudy and abstract, an occasional text-based work might appear on the horizon. Marta Viktorija Agruma holds a bachelor’s degree in painting from Art Academy of Latvia (AAL) and in 2023 she has obtained a master’s degree in the interdisciplinary programme POST (AAL).
