Ieva Baklane Paintings

Maybe it takes growing up in a country that rains a lot to fully appreciate and capture the light of the sun-kissed shores of California.

It certainly worked in David Hockney’s favour and there’s a similar playful enthusiasm in the paintings of Vancouver based artist Ieva Baklane in her depictions of West Coast light.

What I like the most about Ieva’s acrylic paintings are their relentless joyfulness. You can’t help but feel good while looking at them.

As Ieva says herself: “I want people to feel elevated emotionally when they look at my paintings. It might sound cliché, but there are so many sad and bad things happening in the world, that I refuse to contribute to more misery through my paintings.”

Read the full interview on Saatchi Art Magazine where Ieva also talks about the practicalities of painting while parenting two young children as well as her own experience of growing up as a child of artist parents in Soviet era Latvia.
