Daiga Krūze

Daiga Krūze is one of the most versatile and vivid of Latvian painters, and her work has found international recognition as well. Her art is marked by expressively bright, most often abstract compositions. The dynamic of vivid colour and broad brushstrokes stirs an emotional response in the viewer.

Daiga Krūze (1980) studied painting and restoration at the Art Academy of Latvia (2004). She has held 32 solo exhibitions and has taken part in significant group
exhibitions both in Latvia and abroad: in the touring project “Nozīmīgākie Latvijas laikmetīgie mākslinieki” in New York, Washington, Chicago and Riga (2012); in the exhibition of nominees for the European

Art Prize (The Sovereign European Art Prize) in Istanbul (2011). Nominated several times for the Vilhelms Purvītis Prize (2008, 2012, 2016).
