An important role in Baiba Ābelīte’s works is played by material that symbolically reflects the influence of humanity and urbanization on nature. The artist’s work goes beyond traditional staging, she works in different directions – she creates works in author’s technique from various industrial materials, which adds additional dimensions to paintings, creates installations, participates in performances, organizes and conducts master classes, and actively participates in creative and social processes.
Baiba Ābelīte grew up in Mežaparks, in the family of the artist Visvaldis Asars. She has Masters in Art degree gained in the Latvian Academy of Arts.
