Painting is never ending story.
There are real feelings involved.
Artist Elva Garma
I come from a small village called Lizums, which is located in one of the Baltic States in Latvia. I painted in my early school years when I was in elementary school. That time my surname was Bahvalova.
In childhood I took part in small drawing and painting competitions. My drawing teacher was my neighbor, and I often went to show my drawings to her.
In my teenage years, I had other passions like sports and fashion, and I did not continue until I was 25, when I felt a great desire to paint again.
After a couple of years I realized that contrasts, abstract and textures are what characterize almost every work of my art. Painting is now a big part of my life.For the last 8 years I have been creating mainly landscape and abstract contemporary art paintings.
