AGITA KEIRI painting compositions are dream-like, blurring together myth, history, and fantasy. Heroes and heroines in romantic poses fill her stage, human beings who sell themselves into bondage for the dream of happiness—they are the kings of theatre. Everything happens to them—love, mysticism, jealousy, betrayal. Ms. Keiri enjoys painting people. As actors and observers, they bring movement and the human sense of time to the vast and still universe. Her paintings portray the bodies of beautiful men and women and their inner world as she imagines them, conveying the most profound messages through the smallest details and ornamentation. Her strong drawing and concrete lines give border and clarity to the forms of the human body. Her 'performers' beg you to step onto the stage and play along with them in this fantastic theatre. A.Keiri is an Edinburgh-based artist. Ms. Keiri was born in Latvia, where she attended J. Rozentala Riga Secondary School of Art (1991-1997) and the Latvian State Academy of Art, Painting department (enrolled 1997, Bachelor's degree 2001, Master's degree in 2003). In 2011 she completed the Caravaggio master class at Angel Art Academy in Florence, Italy.
