In my art I am interested in both the human made constructions and the creations of nature. The comparison is inevitable yet both are awe inspiring. I want to emphasize the determination of the constructions and fragility of bones; slender movement of joints stopped by the dangerous and piercing light of x ray. I feel and paint the presence of the past in the medieval cloisters, alienated constructions of nowadays and I reflect on the lifespan of living creatures. As an artist, I am fascinated by light in all its forms. Recently I have been working on paintings, devoted to the aesthetic aspects of equine anatomy viewed through the prism of the light of x-ray images. I work in oil, using thin technique of painting and trying to achieve vibrant depth by multiple layers of paint.

Dita Lūse is a painter and works in oil on canvas, in a manner which resembles watercolour painting - with thin washes in multiple layers.  While her art explores diverse subjects, the recurring theme is the relation between light and time. Luse often depicts spaces that are laden with memories, highlighting the depth and atmosphere that light creates. Her engaging compositions fuse realism with impressionism and conceptual art. The works by the artist cover themes such as the interplay of light and shadow in interiors, the enigmatic characters of X-ray images and the depiction of multi-layered memories in the works of the recent years.
