Darina Todirica

Year and place of birth:
1980, Riga, Latvia
Artistic background:

I have been painting and drawing since the age of 14. I began to exhibit my work at the age of 17, in many galleries in Riga. I do not have any formal education in arts, but I have been learning constantly by observing and analysing the work of others. In Denmark, I have had two exhibitions: FIH kunstforening (2005) and Høje Taastrup Medborgerhus (2001). Some of my works can be viewed at www.darina-artspace.dk. Originally, painting has been just a spare time activity; today I see it as an important part of my life and take it more seriously. During the last 3 years I have been mostly painting on demand, which has given me an experience of direct interaction with my clients which had some influence on my work.

So how did you end up in Denmark?

In 2000 I came to Denmark, where I have been lucky to meet my husband. He is my inspiration and much much more. While being in Denmark, I have been studying economy and finance which became my profession. 

Joining the art group:

I joined the art group and I am hoping that we can draw inspiration from each other and combine our creative energy to make some interesting projects. This is the first art group I have ever joined so I am really excited to see what comes out of it. I have several ideas for group projects and I hope I can inspire some people to work together.

Artistic motto:

To make ART is one of the human rights which is worth fighting for.
