About
Gita Sprince is a contemporary abstract artist based in Riga, Latvia. Her practice explores the tension between chaos and stillness, emotion and structure, translating inner states into layered, tactile abstract compositions.
Working primarily with multi-layered acrylic on canvas, she has developed a distinctive visual language that merges painting and printmaking techniques. This hybrid approach allows her to build complex surfaces where gesture, texture, and trace interact, reflecting the layered nature of human experience.
Her work is informed by close observation of nature—shifting light, organic textures, erosion, and quiet decay—which she transforms into abstract visual narratives. Each layer functions as a record of intuition and reflection, revealing a dialogue between what is exposed and what remains concealed.
Gita holds Master degree from the Art Academy of Latvia, where she studied painting, printmaking, and experimental techniques. Her master’s research focused on the concept of mind pollution, examining the effects of digital noise, social media, and consumer culture on mental clarity. These themes continue to resonate in her work, where calm and disturbance coexist within a single surface.
She has been exhibiting frequently since 2012. Through her practice, Gita invites viewers into a contemplative space—offering a pause from constant motion and a return to presence through material, texture, and quiet observation.
Artist Statement
As a painter, I am drawn to the invisible—the quiet intersections between emotion and thought, where memory and perception dissolve into new forms. My work unfolds in this intangible space, translating fleeting sensations and fragments of experience into a visual language that moves beyond words.
I find endless inspiration in nature and its intimate details—the texture of a stone, the shifting light on water, the quiet rhythm of decay and renewal. Observing these subtle transitions grounds my creative process; they become metaphors for the human experience, reflecting both fragility and persistence.
Over the years, I’ve developed a multi-layered acrylic technique that allows me to build surface and depth simultaneously—a physical process of adding, erasing, and rediscovering. Each layer captures a moment of emotional resonance, constructing a textured world that invites both reflection and immersion.
At the core of my practice lies a fascination with the complexity of being human—the tension between chaos and stillness, clarity and confusion. My paintings become meditative explorations of these dualities, offering a visual dialogue between control and surrender.
In my master’s research, I delved into the concept of mind pollution—examining how social media, consumerism, and constant information flow reshape our inner worlds. This inquiry continues to inform my abstract work, as I search for a balance between the noise of modern existence and the grounding silence of nature.
Each painting, for me, is both a question and a resting place—a search for connection, depth, and presence in an increasingly fragmented world.
