About The Artwork
In my inner valley I found such a dark forest where my feelings were hidden. Those darker, wetter, colder, feelings that I didn’t want to see in the light of day. Probably I thought it would be better for them all to stay together in that darkness. As I kept wandering the paths of my inner fields, river valleys, or high hills, I looked into that dark forest from afar. Just like in fairy tales, there is a forest that is forbidden to enter, because no one comes back from there alive. But one day, just as the Sun was moving over the equator, a storm began in that forest. The trees swayed, the wind blew, and one such gust caught me and carried into that forest. Darkness, everything is roaring, the exit is not visible either. And as in a dark room, where somebody suddenly turns on the light, the Sun illuminated the roaring forest from above, injecting her rays like nails. The enlightened swamp appeared in all its beauty, and the stormy feelings that had long been in the darkness arose in the light of day, became visible. And the pearl of all of them was a skull shining in the glimmer of a sun, like a silent warning to “remember, you gonna die.” What is it? Is it a sense of one’s own inevitable death, or is it the great motivator of life forcing me to look for answers to the existential questions “what’s next?”, “Who am I and what will I become?” After all, over the centuries, we have put our hands on our skeletons and asked, “Where does life flow and what remains of it?” Life itself remains untouched by currents of time, it constantly shares itself. What we give remains, so the ray of life penetrates deeper and deeper, and in it shines Power, Wisdom and Love forever. Constant pulsation, breathing. I exhale and inhale, the wave appeared and subsided.

Author’s Statement Unplanned paintings. I start the painting by entering into the unknown, with feelings expressed in abstract expressions. I allow the content of the painting to grow on its own. I do not stick to the first associations or my expectations, but follow the structure of the painting until unplanned scenes are born ... not as random as it may seem. The process of painting is a field of exploration, which helps me to understand and perceive the structure of reality. In my work I am guided by a sense of discovery and view it as a journey into the collective unconscious ... into the inner, dream world. The experience of all the ages lies there - the code of self-awareness that opens the door to mythological narratives, which the viewer can sense and identify with. Surreal images that emerge in my work describe the living mythical world, which we each carry within ourselves. In my paintings, I seek to create a refuge, a medium that allows observers of the image to reflect and meditate on this inner world, which expresses the language of myths, metaphors and archetypes. Biography My story begins in Lithuania, but art is where my journey starts. Trained as a painter and then as a painting restorer at Cambridge Regional College and my homeland, I started working as an art director in one of the largest advertising agencies in Lithuania. However, after 6 years, an overwhelming desire for a more profound knowledge of the universe and myself woke me up from the corporate dream. I traveled to search for the answers in the Andes and the Amazon jungle. These spiritual journeys have opened up to me a unique perception of the world. The sensation of the subtle world and Nature has become the greatest source of inspiration. Thanks to all the experiences, I can finally walk my artistic path guided by my heart. 1987.09.21 – born in Kaunas, Lithuania; 2006-2007 – studied Drawing and Painting in Cambridge Regional College (United Kingdom); 2007-2010 – graduated Painting Restoration in Kaunas College Faculty of Arts (Lithuania); 2011-2017 – worked as an Art Director in advertising agency „VRS WPI Vilnius“ (Lithuania); 2015-2018 – launched a „Faust Watches“ brand.
