Curator Toomas Altnurme

Although I opted for another career path, I eventually discovered an

undying desire to paint. I felt that I had accumulated what I wanted

to say in the canvas to others. Painting gives me the full freedom to

unfold, to discover the authentic self and for me this is an endearing

instrument of self-expression and speech. Nature, city views, still life,

various compositions and portraiture I like to represent in conceptual

expressionism way and in abstract manner, love action painting and

playing with colours. It seems to me that I have painted my whole life.

Just at the beginning not with the brush, but with my eyes, thoughts,

heart. When I paint I feel freedom and full harmony with myself. I am so

glad that many of my paintings spread out all over the world.

BIOGRAPHY

The painting road started in 2009 in Art Studio “Blue-Yellow”, under

the direction of famous Lithuanian artist Antanas Beinaravicius. In

the year 2014-2017 I studied and finished art at Vilnius Justinas

Vienozinskis Art School. I have already participated in over 20 group

and personal exhibitions, paintings have been exhibited in auctions

in Lithuania and the USA. I am especially glad and proud that I

had the opportunity to exhibit works at the National Museum of

Lithuania (one of the works, at the request of the museum, remained

in their collection), at the Lithuanian Applied Art Museum. My works

are acquired for the collection of famous Lithuanian Trakai and

Medininkai castles.
