Born in Kaunas, Lithuania, I am contemporary visual artist, working in the field of drawing, textile and sculpture. Initially, trained as a printmaker and textile artist, I do create works on paper that explore the intersections of Western and Eastern aesthetics and cultures. Sometimes, these drawings grow into three-dimensional objects and can become part of installations. Life and practise provide me with new perspectives on human experience, culture, relationships and everyday life. The body of my work reflects my interest in human condition and various states of being: spiritual and social. My creative process is based on four main principles – story, aesthetic, light and emotion. I use simple materials, such as paper, charcoal, pastel – to tell complex stories. Artistic practice for me - is an endless process of exploration in the drawing’s ability to express and reflect a full range of ideas and emotions: war and peace, death and life, hate and love, failure and belief.
