Biografia

My creative path is guided by a strong sense of purpose. I have a desire to become one of the leading contemporary painters in Lithuania. I want to bring realism back into focus here—honoring its roots, but also breathing new life into it with fresh ideas and perspectives.
For almost ten years, I’ve been fully committed to this goal. Every day, from early morning to late at night, I draw, paint, and study. Painting isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I see myself as both a craftsman and a lifelong student of the art.
A direct connection with the subject I’m painting is extremely important to me, which is why I work exclusively from life and, regardless of the complexity of the situation, I complete each piece in a single session.
I pursue daily artistic development while also mentoring emerging artists and preparing students for entrance into art schools in Lithuania and abroad.
