About this artwork
This is the second time I've tried to paint Temperance. Balance, peace and serenity are difficult qualities to grasp for me. Here it is at last, a scene hidden in green shadows. Two sisters dance in a dark, secret lake, trying to hold the world in balance. They are calling a rainbow from tiny drops of water. All small children love to draw rainbows; perhaps it's the bright colors of the spectrum that make them cheerful and lovable. I also wanted… to try drawing rainbows. It feels very good and peaceful, I could draw them every day. Everyone should try it. One just needs to be calm, have a steady hand and bright colors. The Balance card is associated with the zodiac sign Sagittarius, so the dancing sisters are protected by two spirits - hunters with arrows and bows. In the universe of Temperance, everyone cares for each other, so a merganser duck swims by with her fluffy duckling on her back. Tiny as she is, she protects everyone at the scene.
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.
