Pink Field on a Windy Day

2015, oil on canvas, 125x125 cm /// Kārlis Siliņš (1958) was born into the family of the painter Herberts Siliņš (1926–2001). He’s artistic style is diverse, there can be seen interest in cubism, expressionism, experiments with different techniques and textures. Bold use of colour. In the paintings thematic dominates stylized depictions of nature, figural compositions, still life, some portraits, travel impressions and personal view of events and the world. A decorative artwork made with an emphasis on the stylization of forms and creating a symbolic and associative connection with the title of the painting. Colour as itself is used as the main medium of artistic expression. Emphasis placed on the three colour blocks – blue, pink and green. The shapes are modelled with a combination of brush strokes and ornamental pattern. The conditional celestial area designed with a circular and spiral shaped rhythmically arranged pattern. In the central part used circular brush strokes and fine lines. Consciously observed flatness and stylization. /// The artist’s signature is at the bottom left side of the painting.
