In his own words “In my artistic journey, I delve into multiple painting genres—from figurative to landscape,  traditional to abstract, narrative to still life. Across these varied styles, a consistent thread can be found: a blend of freedom and control that characterizes my approach to art. I have always been captivated by the search for harmony between light and darkness. This fundamental contrast is a consistent theme in my work. Since childhood, I have felt a passion for painting, drawing and photography. Later I developed an interest in stained glass, which I studied at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, where I learned to manipulate light and colour. Eventually, I came to recognize a deep sentiment for painting, captivated by its ability to communicate directly and create a more intimate relationship with the audience.”
