Baiba Vegere
Gallery Daugava published artist Baiba Vegere work catalogue. Publication financed by entrepreneur Guntis Rāvis, compiler and text author Anda Treija. Baiba Vegere: [catalogue / artist Juris Petraškevičs; translator Maija Oginta; literary editors: Māra Ņikitina, Mārīte Gulbe; photographers: Jānis Purcens, Egons Spuris, Normunds Brasliņš] “The painter BAIBA VEGERE (born 1948) works with pastel, and this medium shapes both the formal aspect and the content of her painting. It might not be entirely correct to use the word ‘determines’ — rather, the artist has chosen pastel as the most suitable medium for solving those artistic tasks that are essential to her painting: colour, the subtle play of light and shadow, and the world of the human spirit — the source of her artistic inspiration. Pastel is a ‘surface medium that allows spiritual vibrations to be realized — together with “scent”, air and dust. Closest to the atmosphere of paradise. Perhaps also poetry — written with coloured fingers.’ This is how pastel painting was described by Kurts Fridrihsons, for whom pastel was also an expressive instrument.”
