White Trees

1996, oil on canvas, 70x95 cm (with frame 72,5x97,5x3,5 cm) /// Valdis Bušs (1924–2014) is one of the most prominent Latvian landscape painters. A rich colour palette and expressive texture characterize his works. Bušs’ art reveals the diversity and richness of nature, creating an emotionally charged interpretation of the landscape. In the painting “White Trees”, the artist uses delicate, sparkling brushstrokes in shades of yellow, blue, and green, along with depictions of white blossoming trees, to evoke a joyful sense of spring anticipation. The mosaic-like application of colours infuses the painting with a unique vibrancy. The artwork is reproduced in the e-book “On the Bright Side of Life. Valdis Bušs” and in both the e-book and physical book “Krāsa un gaisma. Valdis Bušs” authored by Līga Baņķiere and Ieva Trillo, published by LLC Art Platz, Riga, 2024. /// The artist’s signature and dating are located on the lower left.
