Latvian painter. Vinters painted objectively, mostly landscape painting. Early works from childhood and youth were made with pencil and ink pen, later, for a short time he made linocuts and pastel works and then found his means of painting, his favor in oil painting. Frequently in his craft he made aquarelles and as a speciality during the 70ies monotypes. But oil painting remained his prime mean of expression for his interpretations of his beloved Latvian landscapes during the seasons, of flowers and townscapes.
During the time of German occupation, Vinters published drawings and aquarelles in German Journals.
During the Soviet period, his exhibitions were confined to Riga and other cities of the Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic. After the liberation of Latvia in 1991 his art increasingly found attention and appreciation. Periodically exhibitions were organized in Latvia, later beginning in 1993 in UK and the USA and from 2006 in Germany. Increasingly his works are presented by the art trade worldwide.
During a state visit by Turkish President Abdullah Gül on April 2, 2013 in Latvia, the Latvian President Andris Bērziņš presented to the Turkish presidential couple as a gift a painting of Edgars Vinters.
