Anastasija Dubovska 

Anastasija was born in 1987. She grew up in Daugavpils, a small

town surrounded by wild forests and beautiful nature, which is the

main source of inspiration for her creativity. She lives and works in

Riga now, the capital of Latvia. Currently a freelance artist, she works

with charcoal drawings on canvas and makes art deco for sale.

I do not know where my images come from, and what affects the creation of them.  As I start working, they appear on their own, I just need to fabulate a composition and the history of their lives. My illustrative visual stories come from the bottom of my heart.  Basically, I rely on intuition and I think that’s why my drawings are very sensual. Therefore, the main function of my artworks is to motivate and inspire others.  Works create metamorphosis in the hearts of others when you can feel a sense, which is transformed into something large and significant - into inspiration.
