About this artwork
View of a field and a forest from the artist’s studio window in winter. The painting’s composition is simple; it has three horizontal planes – field, forest and sky. The field is the world of humans, the forest is the realm of trees and feral animals, and the sky above is the home of light and air. According to the author’s experience, simple concepts are most difficult to paint. In this painting, the simplicity of composition and the clear division…
of planes runs the risk of becoming boring. A way to avoid boredom is the application of oil paint using a variety of approaches – controlled opaque brushstrokes, arbitrary splashes of diluted oil paint, and transparent glazes. The technique makes the oil paint look like watercolor and helps to achieve the sense of freshness characteristic of a crisp winter day.

« "There is nothing permanent in this world, except for a moment depicted in a painting." »
Janis Zingitis is a Latvian painter who has exhibited nationally as well as in Austria. He believes that realistic representation is the highest degree of abstraction, as humans are only capable of perceiving a small fraction of reality. Through his compositions, he wants to capture the world’s soul and reveal it to others. In the past, he has worked with watercolors, pastels, acrylics and collage. Currently, he is rediscovering his love of oil painting.
