Dzemma Skulmes personality plays a paramount role in Latvian art development and social life of Latvia in the second half of the 20th century. Coming from a family of major artists, a maker or Latvian classical modernism, Dzemma Skulme uses allegorical images of past and present to talk about her own and all people of Latvia roots, destiny and heritage. (Ilze Zeivate, art historian). Dzemma Skulme graduated from painting faculty of Latvian Academy of Art (1949) and Repin Art Institute in Saint-Petersburg (1955). Colorful, as they were made by a child, paintings showing naked girls were inspired by daughter Martas childhood drawings. Latest Dzemma Skulmes paintings confirm her daring to continue the search of hr soul. Through these works the artist has come to something that gives true internal freedom and satisfaction. Dz. Skulmes artworks can be seen in Latvian National Art Museum, Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Zimmerly Art Museum (USA) and other collections.
