v i s u a l a r t i s t
I’m an artist from Lithuania based in Vilnius working in a field of photography. Using photography as main media i’m trying to expand boundries of genre by mixing different medias and styles. By mixing traditional photography techniques with found objects, archive materials, modern technologies, other artists works (etc.) i’m trying to create a new visual language as a comment on main subjects of my interests such as a changes of urban landscape, human migration, globalisation, colective memmory, nostalgia, historical and cultural events, post- truth, religion and photography itself. I’m working with a techniques of photo-collage (as in series The Family Album, where by using my family photo archive i reinvent or reimagine the history of my family), installation (Life Is Flux,interactive comment on changes of urban landscape and memmory), camera less photography (Love is.. lumen print series on sexism and patriarchy) and traditional analogue photography (FISHFETISH series of still lifes based on Camus theory of absurd). Main influence on my works are dadaists and FLUXUX movement.
