About The Artwork
We travel forever in our lives and beyond, maybe we stop to rest when occasionally we become trees or mountains. And where would you go if you knew this journey will last forever? I went to the oak of Čiobiškis, it was evening, it was raining, and the nightfall mystified his image. I often see oaks as a father or grandfather, younger trees as brothers. So I appealed to him – please give me, Father, tomorrow, at least a few rays of Sun. The morning dawned and the autumn sun shifted shyly around the edges of the clouds. I settled down to the oak with canvas and paint, now I allowed myself to fall silent. The oak began to talk. He was talking about the arrival of a new Sun, because this one in autumn sky was getting less and less warm, everything around was dead. And the creative process itself brought me into cold, and unfolded darkness strengthened sense of loneliness. The only inspiration I found was the tales about blacksmiths creating a new Sun in the antlers of the deer. And I realized that right now one of these Suns is being lit with the help of a brush and paint. With the formation of the composition, the woman began to emerge in the picture, rising to new life from oblivion, from the depths of the earth. Her spirit and life are aroused by a fire bird that has come from above, and for a moment these two characters gave me an association about Perkūnas and Lithuania. Several Mordovian (a nation related to the Balts) mythological songs mention the Perkūnas marriage to a virgin of earth named Lithuania. The cold feeling of loneliness turned into a whirlwind of dance, which marked the beginning of a new Sun. Songs, paintings, fairy tales and myths allow you to identify with their plots and characters. And as we travel through the roller coaster of life, we can turn into a rebirth bird, a rising virgin of the earth or a blacksmith, who creates his own inner Sun so that its light will lead the way to an eternal goal. Let’s shine.

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.
