Vladimirs Sviklis (b1930) “XX” 1990 post soviet realism transfer to western tradition, west coast / east coast. I found this painting at antiquities sale market, Riga, Vidzemes market, (Brivibas / Matisa corner), which takes place every Saturday. I liked the picture and bought it. It is unorthodox painting by this old master in terms of style and motif. Symbolism here is the active part, both in color usage and imagery. Like it a lot
