I have been connected with stones since childhood because sculpture is a family craft for me, and I inherited stone carving skills from my father. By receiving an education at the Riga School of Design and Art and the Latvian Academy of Art, I further developed in many directions of art and craftsmanship, materials, and technologies.
Currently, I focus on stone and metal. I create contemporary urban, garden, and interior elements—sculptures, decorations, vases, lamps, candle holders, sign stones, and other unique design objects. My works are recognized for refined granite turning and hollowing skills, and many of my pieces are in private collections in the USA, the Netherlands, France, and other countries. Each work is unique, a reflection of handmade work and the character of natural stone. I work in a rural workshop in Užava parish, Ventspils region. My works can be delivered, and I also accept individual custom orders. I also travel for projects. However, if you want to watch a documentary about my father and the Jaunzems family, you can do so here: https://youtu.be/ZgO9MdIL2x |
