ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Sometimes I don't know what to draw. Nothing comes to mind. So I go with circles. Psychiatrist Jung would suggest his patients to draw mandalas. It is a therapy. I heard there are all kind of mandalas. Magical ones that protect you, heal you, save you. I don't really believe in those kind of things. Mine is just a simple circle with ornaments in it. Just four colors. Although, it reminds me of one autumn day 30 years ago. I stepped into a Hare Krishna's temple. It felled like I entered another world. The smell of burning incense, sound of music and tasty sweets they offered to ones that wondered in. They were making flower wreath wearing beautiful Indian robes. Now I'm thinking if I stayed I would only be painting blue clouds and dancing Krishna. I would only see peace and quiet everywhere. My world was totally different from theirs. Maybe that's why they left such a big impression. I never became Hare Krishna but it's one of mine most beautiful autumn memories. That's why I tried to put all of that feeling into the colors of this mandala.

I admire the work of great masters more that contemporary art. I like Raphael, Durer, Rembrant, Escher, Dali. Although nowadays installation, conceptual art and performance art are getting way more popular. It never appeared interesting to my eyes. I think it's rather bullshit. Treating your audience like a bunch of fools, in many cases. But that is only one persons opinion. Also Exhibitions and sales doesn't make art better. It's the other way around. Isolation can reward your work with maturity. I don't think that I have unique style but I do not copy others. In a whole wide world of art my authorities are two Lithuanian artists Liudas Truikys and Mikalojus Konstatntinas Čiurlionis. They are unique. There's nobody else like them.
