Aina Putnina

Country: Latvia
City: Rida
In 1985 – 1992 I studied in the Latvian Academy of Arts, Art Pedagogy department. In 2007 – 2011 I studied in Baltic International Academy and got Master’s degree of art in computer design. Since 1993 I’m working in the Bauska Art School, teaching painting and computer design. Along with pedagogical activity I participate in the exhibitions, plain airs and other art projects.  
In my works I try to combine traditional painting with technology applications, expressive use of color and tonal contrasts often. My works are characterized by an emotionally expressive mood. Those are subjective stories with using of color and thus I am trying to understand the world around me and myself.
