"Composition with Yarns" Painting

I am a Lithuanian-born, London-based abstract minimalist painter. My work explores how geometric forms, texture, and subtle colour relationships shape the emotional energy of a space.

Over the past few years, I’ve developed a visual language rooted in structure and restraint—working across raw linen, handmade cotton paper, and neutral palettes, while gradually embracing bold colours and rhythmic compositions. My practice began with a fascination for the purity of simple forms and their emotional potential. I chose the square—one of the most elemental shapes—as a starting point to explore those ideas.

From there, my process expanded into broader questions: how do shapes interact? How does colour shift a mood? How can visual clarity offer emotional clarity?

I often describe my paintings as environments—where emotion, logic, softness, and structure coexist. In the studio, my background in graphic design and analytical thinking meets a more sensual, intuitive side, grounded in tactility and care. Each piece becomes a moment of pause—an attempt to simplify, slow down, and find harmony through material sensitivity and the quiet value of craftsmanship.

I’m influenced by early modernism and minimalism—especially the clarity of Bauhaus design and the conceptual depth of artists like M.Rothko, B.Newman, and R.Motherwell, whose explorations of presence, emotion and visual tension resonates with me. I’m also drawn to tactile materials, urban architecture, which inform both the structure and the atmosphere of my paintings.

I’ve exhibited in London through group shows, art fairs, and Open Studios, and my work is held in private collections across the UK and internationally. I’m currently developing new series that continue this balance—between control and surrender, shape and feeling.
