"Over the past few years I have concentrated on the urban landscape genre. Old Vilnius—empty, contemplative, decaying, and alive all the while—is my most frequent (but not only) protagonist. My manner of painting utilises impasto and is expressionistic, sometimes approaching realism. The city matters to me not only as material form and shape but as a singular place of being that contains glimpses of a multi-layered past and shelters a soul unique to it. I aim not only to understand and portray that soul but also to reflect on, interpret, and recreate it in my own way. This gives the objective city vista a subjective, personal turn."
