Sigita Daugule (1971) is an artist who hides her popularity in a pedantic everyday life, built on the principle of "painting and the rest”. Everything, from pigeons and Brussels sprouts to telephone conversations, photography, horses, walks and passionate book reading, has a purpose how art is created in Sigita Daugule's workshop. After obtaining a master's degree from the Latvian Academy of Arts in 1998 (I. Zariņš' and A. Naumovs’ Monumental Painting Workshop), Sigita Daugule has been living and working in Austria and Germany for the next three years, receiving a scholarship from the Austrian Federal Chancellery and KulturKontakt Austria in Vienna (1999, 2000) and Künstlerhaus Luke Scholarship in Arenshop (2001). She has been organizing solo exhibitions since 1998, participating in group shows, including "Gada glezna" ("Painting of the year") at Agija Sūna gallery, but in 2010 won a quartier 21 scholarship, with which she worked for two months in the Museum Quarter in Vienna, still being the only one in Latvia in this prestigious opportunity. The spirit of Sigita Daugule's researcher gift is reflected in the book “Jānis Liepiņš” about the legendary old master of Latvian painting (2015), but the richly illustrated catalog of Sigita Daugule's painting was published in 2017 (both in publishing house “Neputns”). The works of the painter Sigita Daugule are both in the collection of the Latvian National Museum of Art and in the private collections - Swedbank Art Collection, Zuzāns collection and others. Since the two-thousands, her expressionism has also won the hearts of viewers in Austria.
