about me
Ilze Ērgle-Vanaga
I believe that homes become truly cozy and lively when they are filled with handmade, aromatic soy candles, carefully selected home fragrances, and interior decor with a touch of art that fills the space with warmth, harmony, and joy.
Art that inspires. Aromas that heal.
I am Ilze Ērgle-Vanaga — an artist, candle maker, and creator of home sensations. Combining painting with aromatic soy candle making, I create unique, handmade objects that fill a space with tenderness, elegance, and soulful warmth.
The defining moment of my journey
The solo exhibition at the Valmiera Museum in 2021 was a significant turning point in my life as an artist — a deep appreciation and proof that my work can reach people's hearts.
Over time, my work has found a home with art and beauty lovers all over the world — from Latvia to distant countries, where paintings and candles continue to create joy, peace, and aesthetic pleasure.
