THE METAMORPHOSIS OF SPRING Painting

My creative journey has been ongoing for thirty five years. I am a prolific plein air artist and an active participant of numerous exhibitions. I am a member of the Lithuanian Artists’ Association since 2009. During my whole creative period, my works have undergone numerous stages. Gradually, undergoing slight changes, my oeuvre has matured and acquired an individual style distinguishing me from other artists’ works. What my oeuvre has retained, however, is that it always balances between realism and abstraction. Rendered through expressive brushstrokes, my paintings feature the nature which remains open and is in a constant dialogue with man. In my works I does not seek to recreate a landscape in a recognisable way; rather, what is crucial to me is the inner state when the paintbrush in my hand captures the relationship with nature, instant moods, emotions, experiences, and senses. The horizons in the paintings contain encoded signs which help the viewer decipher implicit ideas and create his/her own vision. The works extensively feature complex symbols which in a way transform and distort reality by imbuing it with originality and otherness. In the compositions of lines and stains and in their organic forms lies the essence and the unexpectedness of the paintings. The works invite others and oneself to search for the meanings of the objects featured in paintings and to re-decode the concepts and ideas encoded in the artistic pieces.
