Member of Lithuanian Artists Union, Master of Painting, residence in Kaunas, Lithuania, actively creating, painting, participating in visual Art events,
exhibitions, using different art techniques, experiments, being interested in researches of nature, biocentrism, and ecological problems.
Inspired by the creative power of nature, through my artworks I try to draw attention to interactions between civilization, culture, and natural environment, existential issues, cultural values. I also investigate the archetype understanding of the Tree in Baltic culture, analyzing the images of the World Tree, its archetype, meaning, symbolic image, as well as the appearance of bio-centric approach in contemporary art and culture. In the ancient Baltic world, where biocentric attitudes to the environment prevailed and man was perceived as a part of nature, not a ruler, trees were not only objects of nature as they are narrowly understood in the modern world, but mediators, the gateway to eternity. By disclosing of a bio-centric view, it is also sought to develop a sustainable approach to the environment. The emphasis is on the metaphysical meaning of objects of nature, latent manifestations of biocentrism in art, and the contemporary rethinking of our day values.
