DIARY
I grew up on the Lithuanian seaside, where pine forests and the sea shaped my sense of calm and rhythm. Water remains both a source of inspiration and a symbol of fluidity, drawing me back to a gentle, melancholic state of mind.
Most of my work is created through analog photography. I am drawn to the uncertainty of film and the quiet patience and subtlety it requires.
Sensitivity to atmosphere continues in my ongoing project, Artists and Their Daily Life. At its core is the individual: their portrait, their daily rituals, and the traces of craft that shape the world around them. The spaces in which artists create—studios, homes, or other lived-in environments—often reveal just as much as the artists themselves. Shelves, tools, quiet corners, and working hours come together to form a landscape where ideas take root and grow.
My debut exhibition, Abejur, became a starting point. It encouraged me to seek out authentic, living places and to let the environment shape the work as much as the image itself. Rather than presenting separate objects, the exhibition was an immersive experience in which art and place grew together. It marked the beginning of a creative direction grounded in sensitivity, depth, and an openness to working outside sterile or overly controlled spaces.
