I'm Gints Apsīts, a Latvian artist working in digital media, where I explore the surreal tension between innocence and destruction, humanity and spectacle, truth and illusion. When the world feels too loud, I create in silence.

These works started as a way to process my own emotional chaos—frustration, fear, rage, disbelief—but quickly became something more. They turned into quiet protests, visual metaphors, and sometimes just raw, dark poetry.

This is lovely. "Le Petit Prince" has been my favourite book since I first read it many years ago.

I work in stark black and white to strip away the noise and distraction—what’s left is the idea, the feeling, the punch. Inspired by street art and social commentary, each piece is a snapshot of the absurdity and pain we’re all forced to navigate: war dressed as normality, children growing up in violence, politics as theater, technology as escape, peace as a marketing tool.

This isn’t about one country or one cause—it’s about the collective unease of a world that feels like it’s teetering. I don’t have answers, but I do have these 16 pieces.

    Stick with the bat, kid. The bench in The dugout is more fun than the bench in front of the piano

    Russian Sukhoi warplanes with some missiles. Same theme as in the real Russian poster, where the fetus in the ultrasound image "grows" into a boy who gives a military salute.
