I’m Renāte Pagaste, a Latvian visual artist with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Painting. I have participated in more than 15 group exhibitions, and my work is held in private collections around the world.

I am a deeply sensitive person, and that sensitivity shapes the way I experience and create art. My current painting practice explores the idea of safe spaces — places that offer a sense of calm, beauty, and connection in an often overwhelming world.

For me, that safe space is nature. It is where I feel most grounded and where I find much of the inspiration for my work. Through dreamlike landscapes, color, atmosphere, and emotion, I try to create paintings that offer the viewer a moment of stillness
