Aivars Kisnics (Liepaya – Latvia) I was born on November, 1955 in Madona, Latvia. Since 1956 I am living in Liepaja. My mother was a dressmaker, but father was a technitian on a ship. After the graduation of the school I did join a Maritime College in Liepaja. In 1975 I did get a profession of a Navigator. I did develop my career further into a captain of the fishing ship on 1980 and the main working area was the Baltic Sea. In 1999 I retired and worked as a captain on a pilot boat in the port of Liepaja in Latvia.
I was interested in art since school time – did participate in drawing as well as photography competitions and was awarded with state-wide certificates. Painting with oil on canvas I did begin around 2005.
My oil on canvas paintings are multilayered abstractions featuring abrupt changes in texture, fragmentation and traces of the expressive subliminal impulse. Formerly a ship navigator,My special relationship to the sea – where I spent most of his adult professional life – is a focal point of his creative work. The meeting of sea and sky or ‘horizon’ appears as a reoccurring trope in his works, as well as an emphasis on the interaction between horizontal and vertical lines. Through variegated and fully topographical surfaces I employing water-like imagery along with a host of abundant associations: life and regeneration; erosion and decay; danger; the unknown; and the spiritual. These works are at once sea and vessel, storm and ship, water and ether.
