Artist Bio
and Statement
I am a Lithuanian born, Visual Artist living in Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland with a background in Interior Design. I have moved to Ireland when I was eleven years old and have resided here since.
My work is deeply influenced by the beauty and tranquility of nature, which I see as a calming counterbalance to the complexities of human life. Through my art, I seek to reflect the internal landscape of emotions, offering viewers a moment of calm and reflection, a brief pause that encourages contemplation of life and existence.
My practice focuses on creating abstract landscapes using Indian ink, inspired by the Irish landscape, alongside digital and film photography. I am particularly drawn to the fluidity of ink, which moves and transforms on the page, much like the ebb and flow of thoughts and emotions during moments of stillness. This process mirrors the meditative experience of being in nature, evoking feelings of peace, self-reflection, and inner quiet.
Recently, I have expanded my work to include experimental techniques of printmaking and alternative photography processes. I want to combine my painting process with the photography processes. By combining these methods, I aim to explore the interplay between fixed and fluid perspectives, similar to the way meditation can reveal different layers of consciousness. Through this merging of techniques, I invite the viewer to experience a deeper sense of stillness and insight, encouraging them to reflect on their own relationship with life and nature.​
