I was born in 1980 in Kaunas (Lithuania, European Union) in artists' family (a
ceramicist father and a musician mother). Artistical environment surrounded me from
an early childhood, I often spent days in my father’s ceramics studio, he also did some
paintings as well. Painting sessions took lots of my time in school days. So becoming
an artist was a natural and inevitable thing as well as a family tradition.
Graduation from Kaunas (Lithuania) High School of Art in 1999 was followed by
studies in Vilnius (Lithuania) Academy of Arts from 1999 to 2003 (bachelor degree
acquired) where graphic art and traditional intaglio printing became main course of
the studies and was assured by graphic art studies in the same facility for master
degree from 2003 to 2005.
I'm a full-time artist working in my own studio equipped with an etching press
established at home in my hometown.
Printmaking is my life’s passion, my world of art, no other mediums of art allow me to
express myself more than making images on a plate.
I am passionate about traditional intaglio techniques: etching, aquatint, dry-point are
my favorite ones.
