Brazil, Campos Das Vertentes 80 % / Colombia 20 %
The artist Niklāvs Strunke (1894–1966) is credited by the poet Aleksandrs Čaks and other contemporaries with introducing the Italian greeting “ciao” to Riga.
While his peers were rushing off to Paris, the most famous “Latvian Italian” lived in Rome, on the island of Capri, and in Florence from 1923 to 1927, also traveling through Venice, Tuscany, the Bay of Naples, and the Amalfi Coast.
In the Eternal City, captivated by Italy, the pittore lettone rented a studio near the Vatican; in Florence, he settled in the old town of Oltrarno; and on Capri, he stayed on the Marina Grande side.
The interwar years spent in Italy had a profound influence on the original artistic expression of this versatile Latvian modernist and apprentice of the old masters.
With its stripped-down, abstracted composition, harmonious proportions and rhythm, and vibrant local color, the small painting Sorrento (1924–1925), executed on a wooden panel, stands as an icon of Strunke’s easel painting and his “Latvian Italian” identity.
During his Italian period, Strunke’s artistic style became a distinctive fusion of modernist geometrization and inspiration drawn from Italian primitivism.
This espresso delivers the best of a classic natural processed regional blend from Campo das Vertentes in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It exemplifies the consistent quality created by Brazil’s seasoned farmers. The producers use all available technologies to advance production, thus achieving coffees that offer balanced, smooth profiles, and flavor notes that we all love and cherish in a cup of coffee.
Organic coffee from the Fazenda Dutra in Brazil - combines excellent taste with certified and traceable quality. Fazenda Dutra is dedicated to producing high-quality coffees, investing in new technologies, and searching for more sustainable methods of production. Furthermore, the farm does not use toxic pesticides or herbicides, only biological treatments - the production process does not degrade the land and at the same time elevates the quality.
The sweet, fruity profile of this Ethiopian coffee is a classic representation of one of the country's most recognized coffee-producing areas - Beshasha. It is a washed process Ethiopian Heirloom, grown by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia. Beshasha encompasses many terroirs, but farming across the region is traditionally low input and the outstanding attributes of the plants and the land are captured in every harvest.
"I have always yearned to return to nature. If only I could stay there, take root in the forest floor from autumn through winter, perhaps death would not seem so terrifying."
The artwork addresses the fear of death through Latvian oral folklore and the ecological
aspects of death. The artist aims to create a space where death is recognised as a normal, albeit unpleasant, part of life.
This interdisciplinary composition serves as a meditation on the fear of death. The
mythological forest depicted in the painting establishes a sense of a location suspended between life and death, in space and time. Accompanying scents and sounds enhance the atmosphere, evoking associations with nature that feel slightly off, resulting in an uncanny mood. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in this environment and explore their feelings regarding mortality.

Filips Smits' solo exhibition “LET’S GET SUN-KISSED”
From May 14, the exhibition hall of the creative factory “Veldze” will host the opening of photographer Filips Smits’ solo exhibition “LET’S GET SUN-KISSED”. The exhibition brings together and publicly presents, for the first time, sixteen analogue photographs and staged situations created over the past five years, including the documentation of the happening nominated for the Annual Art Award of Latvia.
Filips Smits’ practice is rooted in analogue photography and conceptual interventions in the urban environment, transforming public space into a platform for exploring the interaction between the city and its inhabitants. Drawing inspiration from the avant-garde Situationist International movement of the 1950s and the concept of the dérive (unplanned walks), the artist treats the city as a living organism where everyday rituals take on new, liberated forms.
The surreal atmosphere of the works serves as an antidote to persistent political conflicts and the rush of modern life, emphasizing a longing for mental well-being. These staged outdoor rituals and the capturing of sunlight are not an escape from reality, but a utopian invitation to build respectful relationships across different generations and viewpoints. The exhibition presents itself as a witty, temporary solution to the Situationist philosopher Ivan Chtcheglov’s famous claim that there is no longer any Temple of the Sun in the city.
Artwork: Filips Smits. Happening and photography series “LET’S GET SUN-KISSED” (2021–2026), nominee for the Annual Art Award of Latvia, winner of the Adwards XVIII Silver degree in the "Craft" category.
