Notes

Daina Dagnija (1937) was studying and making her first creative attempts during the 1950s in New York, when the first generation of abstract expressionists was gaining success. Her energetic works were made even more effective thanks to her exposure to the exotic nature and culture of the Japanese island Okinawa (between 1961 and 1962). Since then the artist has taken a special interest in cosmogonic worldviews of different cultures and structures of their mythologies that, in combination with the lively temperament of the artist, has resulted in a multilayered painting approach. Since the 1990s the artist has worked on several work series based on the principles of Mandala - “Creation and Evolution”, “Forces of Nature”, “Lakes of Ancestors”, “Totems”. These are stories about world creation and evolution, connection between humans, nature and cosmos. These works are very dynamic with elements rotating, flowing, being born, growing and forming. The mystery of sky, water, planets and stars contains an animistic message about God’s world. Surface of the painting is filled with rhythmic elements in a repeated arrangement, thus creating an illusion of movement. The artist was influenced by a message about the Native American worldview by Black Elk from the Lakota people. She received it on a small piece of paper in Taos in 1994. “Everything happens in a circular manner, similar to the way how the powers of the world work and how everything in nature leans towards the shape of a circle. They sky ir round, so is the Earth, as I have heard, as well as the stars. Wind also reaches its strongest power in the shape of a whirlwind. Bird nests are round. Change of seasons also happens in a round cycle, they always return to their previous position. Even human life follows the shape of a circle, from childhood to childhood. So it is with everything where forces are in motion.” Cosmic powers and energy still play a major role in the artist’s creations, even in her latest works. Education: Art Students League, New York, NY (1954 – 1956); Art School of the Society of Arts and Crafts, Detroit, MI (1956 – 1959); Chouinard Institute, Los Angeles, CA (1960). Documentation of Work: Fordham University Course “Spirituality in Art” (1997, 1999); Marymount Manhattan College Course “Gender Identity in Art”(1994), Video of Williams Center Exhibition, shown on UA Columbia Ch. (1989); Women’s Caucus on Art National Conference panel “New Art-Ancient Sources”, Boston, MA (1987; Work documented by ART/DOC New York, NY (1974); a.o. The artist has organised more than 40 personal exhibitions in museums of USA, Latvia and has received several awards. Her exhibitions have been covered in New York and New Jersey newspapers (New York Times 1979, 1980, 1981, 1985., The Record, a.o.). Since 2001 the artist has been working and living in Riga, Latvia.
