I like to feel paintings, so I put feeling and sense in the first place in my work. I try to convey that. I am glad if others succeed and I notice it - this is the highest evaluation.

I am from Trakai. I have been living there with my family all my life and I have two children.

My paintings start with an idea and a composition. Before taking the brush in my hand, I sit at the sketch of the future painting for a long time and only when I have the sketch do I start painting. Working on a sketch usually takes more time than painting itself.

Many ask where do my painting ideas come from? If I knew I would say. It's a secret to me. Maybe it is the experience of life and the grace of God. I tend to believe that…
