I do not paint things as they look - I paint them as energy, movement and connection.

I do not paint things as they look - I paint them as energy, movement and connection.

My art explores the invisible energy connecting all living things and the space in between, questioning what reality exists beyond what we can see and touch.

I work in both figurative and abstract styles, with abstract forms derived from natural structures. I translate elements from our surroundings, plants, geological formations, natural phenomena, and architecture, into a cohesive visual language.

I do not paint things as they look, I paint them as energy, movement and connection.

I am fascinated by the space between objects. I extract and invert that space into forms, making the in-between the subject itself.

My practice moves between painting and ceramics, two forms of expression that often intertwine and complement one another, both serving the same vision, the same message.

This thinking is rooted in Taoism, which sees the world as one connected whole. A core Taoist idea is that emptiness is not absence, it is living and functional.

In my ceramics, I make the space between two flowers into a vase. The tension in my work is that the viewer is left holding two realities at once: the flowers, and the form born from the space between them.

My work invites the viewer to look not at things, but at what lives between them.

Born in 1983 in Lithuania, I began studying painting at the age of 12 and later graduated with a Bachelor in Audiovisual Arts from the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts. I have lived in several European countries, working as an Art Director and Designer in the advertising industry. However, after a few years in the corporate world, fatigued by the gray and cold surroundings of the cities I lived in, I reconnected with my inner child and began painting again. Initially working with colorful paper collages, I gradually delved deeper into learning new techniques and mediums, with oil on canvas becoming my favorite. My work has been exhibited in Europe and Mexico and has received numerous awards, including being a finalist at the 38th edition of Premio BMW de Pintura in Spain in 2023. My artworks have been acquired by private collectors. I currently live and work in the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain.
