In Lielupe River, Valdis Buss turns a familiar Latvian landscape into a vibrant, rhythmic celebration of colour and movement. The winding bend of the Lielupe is rendered not as a literal topographical view, but as a dynamic mosaic of brushstrokes—turquoise, lilac, emerald, amber, and cobalt—each contributing to the sensation of shifting light and flowing water. The composition pulses with life: clusters of trees along the riverbank dissolve into expressive patches of green, while the shoreline is built from lively colour fragments that hint at fields, houses, and reflections.
Buss’ distinctive palette knife technique creates a textured, energetic surface. Lines break and reform, colours overlap in spontaneous harmony, and the landscape seems to vibrate with the immediacy of nature. Forms are recognisable yet transformed, allowing the river to become an emotional experience rather than a fixed scene.
