The buildings at Elizabetes iela 33 in Riga, specifically Mikhail Eisenstein's Art Nouveau masterpiece, are a fascinating glimpse into the fantasy world of Art Nouveau architecture. Eisenstein's style is known for its ornate facades with figures and mythological creatures that seem to emerge from the brickwork. Particularly striking here are the sphinxes and human faces that decorate the facade, reflecting the exotic tastes of the time. These elements reflect the trend of the time to draw inspiration from foreign cultures such as Egypt, and convey a symbolic atmosphere marked by Freudian influences.

The combination of blue tiles and white ornamentation makes for a striking appearance that stands out from the classic European style and hints at the influence of Austrian Art Nouveau. While the building shines as a visual masterpiece, Eisenstein was often criticized for neglecting functional aspects, which underlines the building's appeal as a pure work of art.
