The wall painting "Pegasus" next to the entrance of Pegaza Pagalms has sparked a whole series of events related to the creation of this cultural venue. As a continuation of this story, Uldis Rubezis' mural now appears in our courtyard.
A collage of moods, various creative personalities, and everyday situations under a fragment of David Bowie's lyrics forms a new abstraction within this enclosed space, setting a mood and perhaps even marking a new beginning for other events.
A unique light object displayed in the guest room. Created from musical instrument parts—piano keys and drum elements.The warm tones of the materials and the light spectrum create a pleasant sense of sunlight, even during the harshest seasons.
A crocheted blanket made of red fabrics is enriched with various elements, giving it a creative, textured flair. The artwork's meaning is as layered as the crochet loops and rows.
"Liepāja as a source of strength, the sea sending us magnificent sunsets, waiting and giving us the power to fight," says the artist.
In the Pegaza Pagalms Guest Room, the piece has not only gained a fluffier appearance but also a new name—originally, the artist had titled it "The Return of Cochineal."
The walls of Pegaza Pagalms are adorned with a cup filled with swirling coffee and a black Pegasus in mid-leap. These two paintings reflect the courtyard’s history and the essence of this cultural venue.
This particular courtyard once served as a carriage house, which is why the painted Pegasus embodies a working horse that has managed to rise above the ordinary, break free from the carriage, find a source of inspiration, and now inspires others.
The coffee cup is a literal and direct symbol of a "creativity source." For many artistic individuals, coffee is an essential part of daily life – often the only pause in the rush of the day, a grounding moment that reconnects them with the present.
Pegaza Pagalms is located at Kuršu Street 20. The wooden ceiling of its entranceway is adorned with a historical painting featuring countless angel motifs. The origins of this artwork remain unresearched, and the painting is still awaiting restoration.
In the meantime, every visitor to the courtyard can look up and glimpse the details of the artwork that have emerged as the layers of more recent paint have crumbled away.
The Pegasus that greets visitors in the guest room is a work by sculptor Egons Peršēvics from the "Mythical Horses" series. It tells a story about our perceptions, myths, and reality—about how artistic flight is often grounded by the weight of reality. A reminder that even artists need to eat.
