As Vējš writes, during the Soviet period, Delle lived as if in two parallel worlds: the author’s works appeared in the official exhibition circuit, but everyday life took place in an idealistic environment of mutual self-help, where various “outsiders” met. However, the focus was undoubtedly on art: “I exposed the whole family to painting. I didn’t feel guilty because I never felt like a woman – a mother or a wife. I have always been a painter who has to fulfill the duties of a woman.”
Biruta Delle was very productive, realized daring projects – set up workshops far from Riga, worked with students in an informal studio – but much of what was created in this way has disappeared or died, writes Vējš. Her artwork also included two directions: fanatic nature, outdoor studies, especially focusing on the relationship between warm and cool areas, and ambitious multi-figure compositions, in which vivid imagination was expressed. Art researchers see elements of surrealism in the painter’s works, however, she is associated with this direction more by the practice of automatic sketching than by the formal features of the style.
