Misty Sunrise Painting

My name is Ausra. I am a UK masters graduate pharmacist and a self-taught painter. I was born in Lithuania in 1972 and have lived in the UK for almost twenty years where I had studied and worked whilst raising two children. Since I was a child I had a passion for creative drawing. I remember my mum was worried and she was checking if I was doing my homework or drawing. Later my drawing time was replaced by dancing classes. Fortunately, for the past few years I am living my dream doing what I love the most - full time painting in Greece, a country of incredible history and the birthplace of art. My life now is purely surrounded by nature, which allows my endless thoughts to create the most unique and original paintings. My passion for art is inspired by every beauty on this Earth, incredible nature, cute animals, idealistic figures and unique architecture. Each one of my paintings are created with passion and thoughtful harmony to make the exquisite scenic painting. The bright palettes of colour dominate my paintings which create power and positive feelings. It oscillates between impressionism and realism. My technique is applying many detailed oil layers and glazes on the canvas which takes time to finish perfectly. My work reflects a sense of symbolism. I strongly believe that a great artist needs to have a special combination of technical skills, creative thinking and strong determination.
