The compositions of the paintings embody the feeling of the movement in slow motion thus conveying the inescapable truth of a forever shifting viewpoint and the never-ending change. The artist considers movement to be a metaphor of the diverse and multi-layered human nature and the uncertainty of being.
Through her paintings she outlines the complicity of the human mind and its relationship with the existence itself. It is the end – result of the individuals’ transformation that is always unknown.
Alvīne Bautra uses the traditional painting techniques combined with characters of different people to create an atmosphere which, hopefully, invites the viewer to an inner dialogue with oneself about the human existence in the present time.
Alvīne Bautra (b. 1990 / LV) is young and active Latvian artist who currently studies in Art Academy of Latvia, MA in Painting.
