About us
Since 2024, we have been painting with volunteers, young people, and donating paintings to those who supported our young people and families. Later, we realized that “Hope” paintings can become more than a gift. They can be a product that gives young people jobs, skills, knowledge, and the opportunity to build their own better future.
Already more than 50 paintings live in different countries and delight their owners.
We have heard many positive comments:
- “Looking at a painting relaxes the mind.”
- “It works like therapy.”
- “Calms.”
- “Reminds me that it’s time to go to the sea.”
- “Reminds me of Liepāja.”

About me
My name is Tatyana, and I am the head of the “House of Hope” association. I invite you to join my creative path, where together we create goodness, inspiration and hope.
I was born in Ukraine, but at the age of nine I moved to Latvia with my mother.
Since childhood, I have dreamed of painting paintings that make people happy and bring warmth to their hearts.
Today I realize this dream by combining art with a social mission – to help, inspire and create positive changes in society.
Meet the people who are making a difference!
We believe in small acts of great power, together creating an environment for hope, peace, and development.

Support young people
We offer to buy interior oil paintings (size 30×40 cm) with sea motifs, which will fit perfectly in offices, living rooms, hotels, cafes and other spaces, while confirming your support for the development of young people. All proceeds from the sale of these works of art will be directed to the development of the Hope Art initiative and the support of young people.
Your support will go towards the following goals:
- for the growth and opportunities of young people
- for a safer future for women with children
- for the strengthening of the physical and emotional health of society, for the development of new social initiatives
