Although I opted for another career path, I eventually discovered an
undying desire to paint. I felt that I had accumulated what I wanted
to say in the canvas to others. Painting gives me the full freedom to
unfold, to discover the authentic self and for me this is an endearing
instrument of self-expression and speech. Nature, city views, still life,
various compositions and portraiture I like to represent in conceptual
expressionism way and in abstract manner, love action painting and
playing with colours. It seems to me that I have painted my whole life.
Just at the beginning not with the brush, but with my eyes, thoughts,
heart. When I paint I feel freedom and full harmony with myself. I am so
glad that many of my paintings spread out all over the world.
BIOGRAPHY
The painting road started in 2009 in Art Studio “Blue-Yellow”, under
the direction of famous Lithuanian artist Antanas Beinaravicius. In
the year 2014-2017 I studied and finished art at Vilnius Justinas
Vienozinskis Art School. I have already participated in over 20 group
and personal exhibitions, paintings have been exhibited in auctions
in Lithuania and the USA. I am especially glad and proud that I
had the opportunity to exhibit works at the National Museum of
Lithuania (one of the works, at the request of the museum, remained
in their collection), at the Lithuanian Applied Art Museum. My works
are acquired for the collection of famous Lithuanian Trakai and
Medininkai castles.
