Study after W.A. Bouguereau Innocence Print

I am a painter and full time artist. My journey to realism started in 2018 when I joined classical realism courses in Classical Realism Atelier (the part of Vilnius Academy of Art). During these courses I learned the traditional oil painting techniques, moreover, these courses taught me discipline, patience and helped me to find my direction as an artist. Solitude. This subject inspires me a lot. I think that the person who has a moment of solitude, has a moment of truth with themselves, which is simply beautiful and pure. Emotions and pure feelings are the ones that motivates me the most. To illustrate, when you are reading your favourite book you might literally forget yourself. And in this ‘self-forgetting’ state I find joy, innocence, freedom, love, peace, happiness and inner fulfillment. Pure feelings are positive as they bring out our true natural being of love and oneness.
