About The Artwork

This work was inspired by images. We are surrounded by images: images tell the story. I think in images and collect images, either through paintings or in the memory on my camera. This series of mixed media works is based on these digital images, transferred via gelatin plate onto a canvas or paper, and then transformed into a piece that I hope conveys the energy and the space, and sometimes idea of the certain geographical location, like Indianapolis in this case. Just like in painting itself, opportunities for printing are endless and absolutely unique: no print comes identical and is surprising, just like watercolor. With 40k+ images on my digital media, printing, collaging and further painting (with watercolor and acrylics) provides me with yet another opportunity and different ways to process what I see and tell the story. I brew over these creations for weeks, contemplating my next element. I hope to induce a strong sensorial response in the viewer. I hope it is something you want to look at and see more every time. This piece is currently on display in 91st Juried Annual Exhibition of the Indiana Artists at Indianapolis Museum of Art.

I grew up in Lithuania and Russia, and my childhood was filled with trips to galleries, symphony halls and theaters. I chose Chemistry as my first profession, years later I realized that my love for formulas was the love of an artist: I was intrigued by the shapes of molecules and how they fit together into perfect designs! One day, more than 20 years ago, my son left his paints on the table and ran off to play. I picked up his brush, not knowing that it would take me on an incredible lifetime journey! Since then I have studied with well-known and recognized artists and teachers from around the world. Among them; Alvaro Castagnet, David Taylor, Cheng-Khee Chee, Frank Webb, James Toogood, Kim English and Maggie Seiner. My favorite masters are John Singer Sargent, Andrew Wyeth and Repin. I spent the last few years in Stuttgart, Germany and studied under the mentorship of Thomas Hager, who pushed me to see beyond the obvious. I admire paintings that are spontaneous and free and infuse the viewer with a feeling of what they see. I paint in all three mediums, finding watercolor to be my first love. Painting “en plein air” and capturing the moment is my favorite challenge. I teach watercolor and acrylic in both Germany and the US, sharing my passion for art and the spontaneity of the water medium. Art is my way of life! The whole experience of painting for me is extracting some meaning in the chaos that is the world around me, making it more beautiful, I hope. My art is impressionistic yet representational, but the abstract elements in subjects that inspire me to paint them. My goal is to have fun and enjoy the thrill of making marks on the surface. Every painting is also a story, the story I crate and the story of the moment it comes to life.
