About The Artwork
The painting titled "What have you sacrificed to climb over the heads of others?" presents a poignant and evocative exploration of ambition, competition, and the human cost of success. The imagery of a group of people walking down a path, subtly or overtly stepping over one another, serves as a powerful metaphor for the societal and personal sacrifices made in the pursuit of progress and achievement. The composition cleverly uses the path as a symbol for life's journey, with the individuals representing the diversity of ambitions and the lengths to which people are willing to go to realize their dreams. The varied expressions and postures of the figures suggest a range of emotions from determination to desperation, highlighting the complexity of human motivations and the ethical dilemmas faced in competitive environments. The choice of colors, lighting, and textures adds depth to the narrative, creating a mood that invites reflection on the consequences of our choices. The text on the image, "What have you sacrificed to climb over the heads of others?", though seemingly garbled, echoes the painting's theme of reflection and introspection. It prompts viewers to decipher its meaning, much like the process of self-examination to understand the impacts of our actions on others and ourselves. This painting stands as a compelling commentary on the nature of success and the ethical considerations that accompany it. It challenges viewers to consider the cost of their ambitions, not just on a personal level but also on the broader canvas of societal and relational dynamics. Its visual and thematic depth ensures that it lingers in the mind long after the initial viewing, making it a significant work of art that speaks to the complexities of the human condition in the 21st century.

Lithuania
I was born on December 15th, 1976 in Kaunas, Lithuania. After one year we’ve moved to capital city of Lithuania – Vilnius. Here I started my school, where was I was attending progressive art classes. From the early days I was involved in the art world - my father is a photographer and mother was an architect. Our house was always full of people from the art world. I got to know them personally and grew up surrounded by them. In highschool I was attending music school, where I played the cello. This is still a frequent image in my paintings. I love the cello. I’ve started to paint in 1990, but it was just the silence before the storm before the storm. My personal awakening occurred in February of 2003 in NYC, and I called that POFICK. Finally my art was given form and meaning. I imagined that if Fluxus exists, Pofick could exist as well, and not only in paintings, but in other forms of art and as a unique view of the world and a type of lifestyle.
