Yuri Arajs is a formally educated Canadian artist who works and lives in Vancouver BC. He creates minimal landscapes focused on details of land and sky.

“I love spending time getting lost in the sky. There are so many places to go and things to see up there.
Most of my art is landscape based in its simplest form. Horizon lines and objects filling space with intention help me create works of absolute silence with an under current of misunderstanding.
I use lots of vintage paper and book pages as well as found metal and scraps to introduce the discussion of history and experience within the specific work. My colour palette is fairly limited and my appreciation for graphite is huge.”
