About this artwork
The mystery and power of witches and other magical water creatures is timeless. Now is an auspicious time to be a witch in the sea, air and land. Everyone can also do witchcraft quietly in the comfort of a sea castle or a room.
I try to see the Sea Witch as a living and powerful archetype, the progenitor of all seas, the origin around which smaller water spirits and creatures of wonder revolve. I can also see poetess Aspasia, creative and powerful,… gentle and graceful, as she lives in her poet's paradise even today. These images merged into one, and were joined by a third, the Sea Amazon, the mighty warrior, defender of the small and innocent, thus creating a trinity.
The Sea Witch is wise, old, omniscient like a natural element. We humans think about age as an obstacle. I was afraid that the old Sea Witch with one eye and wrinkles on her forehead might feel invisible and nostalgic for the days of her youth, so I painted her in the past, beautiful and desired by all the sea gods.
Velta Emīlija Platupe is a multi-faceted Latvian artist, passionately utilizing textiles, paper, and flowing pigments in painting, sculpture, and other visual media. Her fondness for aquatint technique and soft, mobile forms reveal a playful intersection of found and reused materials, crystalline accents, and gilt. Engaging with symbolism, surrealism, baroque, and magic, she juxtaposes the beautiful and the terrible, weaving unspoken stories onto canvases. Her artwork invites viewers into a challenging yet comfortable universe, reflecting her belief that art is a sanctuary and a way to depict her utopia.
