About the author
Monochrome ink painting is the basis of the artist’s artistic expression. It allows to capture the essence of an object, leaving aside unnecessary details, finding depth in simplicity, in emptiness, in unfilled space.
In her work, she strives to embody the principles of Japanese aesthetics, which are manifested in her work through minimalist compositions, subtlety, and calligraphic strokes. Working with sumi ink and handmade paper (xuan, washi), she mounts the paintings on linen and canvas, occasionally incorporating elements of natural wood. She mainly depicts motifs from East Asian landscapes and typical elements of the Lithuanian landscape that are so close to her heart - cranes, herons, lush grassy hills. She relies on the inner emotion conveyed by the brush itself - the brush dances and the ink sings. Then a hill appears in one place, a lakeside or a fisherman's boat in another.
In her artistic journey, she involves the philosophy of exploration and discovery. The artist manifests her creative path by observing nature and by practicing being in the moment: slowing down, noticing, reflecting, embracing the essence of life in all its darkness and light, shadow and light, emptiness and abundance.
In 2024, the artist had 2 solo exhibitions. She also regularly holds ink painting and other, Japanese culture inspired, workshops.
In 2022, she published a book for kids in two languages, which she has both written and illustrated.
