Artists in the studio in East London

Background | Inspiration | Materials

Growing up in the quiet Lithuanian countryside, I found joy in simple pleasures - walking barefoot on warm summer days, swimming in wild waters, listening to nature’s sounds, and stargazing under the night sky. Nature has always inspired me, and I love to observe, listen, and fully experience it through my senses.

My artwork explores themes such interconnectedness of all life, the link between body and environment, cycles of life, and the flow of energies between the inner self and the surrounding world. I don’t confine myself to a single style of painting, instead embracing complete creative freedom.

In my paintings, I use diverse materials to experiment with textures, incorporate object-like elements or embroidery, and create unique canvas shapes, often combining them into unconventional compositions. My focus is on exploring how different elements can come together to create a unified piece.
