LIFE TANGO
This ink and wash sketch shows a tango couple locked in a close embrace, the man viewed from behind as he lifts and anchors the woman in a compact, turning pose. Loose black lines define their bodies, while translucent gray washes build the folds of clothing and the depth of the scene. Faint Paris landmarks and street details dissolve into the background, leaving the dancers sharply centered. A crowded tango scene fills the canvas in warm sepia and beige tones, drawn with crisp black lines and soft shaded modeling. Couples overlap in a tight spiral of torsos, arms, hats, and close-set faces, while a large pair at the right anchors the composition in a cheek-to-cheek embrace. The brushwork leaves the figures luminous against the pale ground, giving the painting a dense, rhythmic pulse.

SUPER HEROS PHANTOMS
“Super Heros Phantoms” 90x65cm 2022 (oil-canvas) www.Dags.lv I will cling again to "Superhero and his clones". Man and his phantoms. Besides the model, you can also paint, work cleanly in color. Interesting "crossboard" - so many portraits to solve. Try to reach in one tonal space. What do we encounter every day? The real man, or his phantoms? When we call on the phone, does the phantom answer? And the real one, maybe, doesn't even know we called him. Why don't real people meet at mass events? Probably, cheaper for reality, to heal thousands of phantom people. As in mass filming, the director uses cheap statistics. It is unfortunate that there is still a state of emergency in Latvia. Although the whole of Riga can be heard through the window. Viruses are not caught in demonstrations, it is only not allowed if you want to enter the paint shop. The painting presents a tight mosaic of many painted male heads, packed edge to edge against a flat turquoise background. Faces overlap in layered rows, with gray, blond, and auburn hair, beards, and mustaches rendered in warm ochres, pinks, and muted blues. Brushstrokes stay visible, giving the clustered portraits a rough, graphic immediacy. The artist’s signature and date appear at the upper left.
