Artist EXPERIENCE
My first education in sculpture but I work mostly with new media’s, to be more specific in the fields of installation, performance, site specific, landscape art and recently got interested in photo spheres and virtual reality projects. The topics I am mostly dealing are environmental questions, society structure, gender, political power, and especially post soviet traumas, left in my country. My works are often complicated, have many layers, and in most cases interactive or highly communicative with the audience. I had some personal exhibitions (Wounded place, 2017, Ghost of Pilaitė, Vilnius, Lithuania 2016, Bergen stories, USF Verftet, Bergen, Norway (2006 ), and participated in around 50 international art exhibitions, symposiums, seminars and other events in Lithuania and abroad (Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Russia, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and etc |
