IN Rikavas, an exhibition of Onuijan painting opened in the cultural house

From October 10 to October 22, Kantinieku parish exhibition is displayed at Kantinieku in the cultural house, dedicated to the 50-year anniversary of the artist.
Valdis Onužāns was born on October 13, 1966, in Jēkabpils. When Valdis was two years old, the family returned to his parents' home in Zīmeļovka village, Kantinieku parish, Rēzekne district.
After completing his studies at the Rikava eight-year school, Valdis went on to study at the Rēzekne Secondary School of Applied Arts, where he majored in woodcarving, but also self-taught painting, which is his hobby.
После окончания художественной школы Валдис Онужанс работает учителем профессионального образования в школе-интернате Тискадус. Далее следует призыв в советскую армию. Вернувшись из армии, он начинает работать на Резекненском художественном комбинате, где ему предлагают работу резчиком по дереву. В эту работу вложены не только знания, полученные в школе, но и сердце и душа.
At the beginning of the Revival, Valdis turned to agriculture. Since 1992, he has been the owner of the "Zemīši" farm. Having founded a family, he is raising 3 daughters.
He has held exhibitions of his paintings in the "Kolnasāta" museum of Frančas Trasuns of Sakstagals Parish, Rikava Elementary School and Culture House, Galēni, etc. Valdis Onužanas' paintings are in the private collections of many local parishes and residents of Latvia, and have also traveled to Sweden, Norway, Australia, America and other countries.
The artist has his own workshop in a Latgale country house, where you can enjoy the silence and peace of the countryside. Along with all his works, Valdis has always drawn and painted, because this is the calling of his heart.
