Works
Works
He painted landscapes, portraits, illustrated books (including his own), wrote articles on art, including on M. K. Čiurlionis. The story "The Frosty Rings" reveals the love drama of two young people. The experience of childhood is reflected in the "White Paper", "Green Paper", and other collections. The prose has a strong tradition of psychological realism and neo-romanticism. The works subtly convey the spiritual experiences of the characters, despite the life of various strata of rural Latvia, emphasize human connection with nature, continuation of national traditions; Latvian motives abound. He has written pictures, short stories and poems, plays, books on Latvian emigration, and descriptions of Latvians in various countries. His work was translated into Lithuanian language by Kristijonas Donelaitis, Gabrielius Landsbergis-Žemkalnis, and Petras Vaičiūnas.
