Description from the seller
" Rootz "
50 x 70 cm. / Indian ink, Pu-Erh tea, acrylic paint on canvas / 2025.
Hand signed..
Certificate of Authenticity Included.
Packed securely.
Rihards Linde (1978) works at the intersection of painting, ritual, and drawing. His artworks are created on stretched canvas using pu-erh tea as a natural pigment, forming warm, unpredictable ornamental stains that become the emotional background of the piece. Over these organic tea traces, Linde paints trees with bare, exposed roots in Indian ink — precise, fragile, and meditative.
The contrast between the spontaneous tea ornaments and the controlled ink drawing creates a dialogue between chance and intention. The trees often feel suspended between growth and memory, presence and disappearance. Roots are not hidden underground — they are visible, vulnerable, searching.
Linde’s works invite slow looking. They carry associations with time, quietness, and inner landscapes. Each canvas is unrepeatable due to the natural behavior of tea, making every piece both a painting and a trace of a moment.
Medium: pu-erh tea and Indian ink on stretched canvas.
Rihards works of art can be found in private and corporate collections in Latvia, Belgium, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, USA, France, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Italy.
