Instead, they often invite contemplation, nuance and deeper engagement,\u201d says Vita Liberte. As co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/vvfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VV Foundation<\/a>, working alongside art enthusiasts Vilnis \u0160trams and J\u0101nis Borgs, she is building a platform from which to champion the careers of artists from the Baltic region far beyond its geographical bounds, while maintaining its singular socio-economic and creative identity. She adds, \u201cArtists from our region often work from a place of deep reflection, historical awareness, and sensitivity to the complexities of identity, memory, and belonging. The Baltic countries have experienced enormous change within a relatively short period of history. As a result, many artists have developed a unique ability to speak about universal themes through very personal and local experiences. There is often a quiet confidence in Baltic art, a willingness to ask difficult questions without necessarily raising one&#8217;s voice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"883\" height=\"937\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.10magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/VVF.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Courtesy of VV Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2018, VV Foundation has assembled a collection of around 500 artworks, but it\u00a0is more than a collection, and Liberte promises more than your average collector. Recognised as one of Latvia\u2019s most prominent lawyers, she navigates the art world with the conviction of someone whose belief in the essential cultural value of artistic expression is as uncompromising as her professional drive. \u201cFor me, being a collector has never been simply about acquiring artworks,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt is about building relationships; with artists, with ideas, and with the cultural narrative of our time. I consciously see myself as someone who helps create connections and opportunities. Through collecting, supporting artists, and the work of the VV Foundation, I try to contribute to an environment where creativity can flourish and where talented artists can reach audiences both locally and internationally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"eltdf-image-gallery  eltdf-ig-grid-type eltdf-tiny-space\">\n\t<div class=\"eltdf-ig-inner eltdf-outer-space eltdf-ig-grid eltdf-ig-two-columns\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eltdf-ig-image eltdf-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eltdf-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.10magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Amanda-Ziemele-2025-3.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eltdf-ig-image eltdf-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eltdf-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.10magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/466916663_18007182284660992_4271563842482142190_n.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Courtesy of PAiR\/VV Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The foundation has already made significant contributions to the art world at an international level, while putting down notable roots in home soil.

The second edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/rigacontemporary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riga Contemporary Art Fair<\/a> took place 2-5 July 2026, with more than 40 exhibiting galleries and a talks programme packed with internationally-recognised voices that, of course, featured Liberte, whose connection to the Baltic art scene at a grass roots level is increasingly evident as she refers to artists, their practices and their studios with encyclopaedic knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the programme, the collector and foundation co-founder moderated a discussion on the role of foundations as a tool for art scene development. Speaking to <em>10DE<\/em> she reflects on the impact of her work as a key pillar of VV Foundation, \u201cWhat makes me most proud is not any single project but the community and connections we have helped create. When I founded the foundation my ambition was to contribute to a stronger ecosystem for contemporary art and culture; to bring people together and open doors that might otherwise remain closed. Culture develops over time, and meaningful impact is rarely immediate. What gives me the greatest satisfaction is knowing that the foundation is helping build long-term relationships and creating conditions in which creativity can thrive. That, to me, is the most valuable contribution we can make.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Text MILLY BURROUGHS.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBaltic artists do not always seek spectacle.
