Zimmer mit Spiegel und Klavierhocker

Edite Grinberga, born in 1965 in Riga, is a Latvian-German painter who lives and works in Berlin. She began her artistic training at the Jānis Rozentāls Art High School in Riga, which she attended from 1975 to 1982, before continuing her studies in painting and textile art at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Riga. After moving to Berlin in 1990, she devoted herself entirely to painting and developed a distinctive style rooted in both classical pictorial traditions and contemporary realism. Her works are characterized by quiet, often melancholic atmospheres: still interiors, everyday objects, subtly placed light and delicate shadows lend her paintings a timeless, almost meditative quality. Through the use of glazing techniques, she creates a particular depth that gives her motifs a striking presence. Internationally recognized, Grinberga exhibits regularly in Europe and the United States, and her works are represented in significant collections • including the Zimmerli Art Museum in New Jersey • the Latvian National Museum of Art • the Museum am Dom in Würzburg • as well as in numerous galleries that have featured her paintings in solo exhibitions such as “Waiting for Vermeer” in Berlin and in various international group shows. Grinberga’s art combines precision and stillness in a way that invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of reduced forms and expressive light.
