Philosophy — “Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry."
My work is rooted in the principles of East Asian aesthetics—minimalist composition, subtlety, and the expressive power of calligraphic brushstrokes. It is a practice centered on deepening heart-based awareness and cultivating a connection to intuition. I surrender to the spontaneous flow of creativity, allowing thought to be expressed in its raw, unfiltered form.
I find beauty in simplicity, asymmetry, and restraint—in the quiet harmony of nature, in the purity of materials. I work with a limited palette, using only a few natural ingredients to give form to inner landscapes. Handmade paper, natural pigments, homemade glue, and ink are my chosen materials. I dye my paper with kakishibu (a traditional dye made from fermented persimmons), as well as earth pigments and tea. These raw, organic substances lend a certain energy to the work—a tactile presence that invites a deeper kind of seeing. The texture of the paper, the subtleties of pigment and ink, all become part of the narrative.
Nature is both my inspiration and my teacher. I value slowness and stillness—moments of presence where reflection unfolds, and life reveals itself in all its nuance: light and shadow, fullness and emptiness, beauty and impermanence. My creative process is intuitive and meditative, guided less by intention than by instinct. The brush moves freely, the hands respond naturally. In this way, art becomes not just a form of expression, but a path of self-revelation—a quiet dance of mind and body.
Filosofija - Savo darbuose remiuosi Rytų estetikos principais, o tai – minimalistinės kompozicijos, subtilumas, kaligrafiniai potėpiai. Mano kūryba – tai širdyje sutelkto vidinio sąmoningumo stiprinimas per ryšį su savo intuicija. Pasiduodu spontaniškai kūrybinei tėkmei, minties raiškai. Vertinu medžiagų grynumą, matau grožį gamtos atspalviuose ir harmonijoje, paprastume, asimetrijoje, santūrume. Dirbu su įvairiomis medžiagomis, struktūromis, technikomis. Minties raiškai naudoju vos keletą ingredientų. Mėgstu natūralias medžiagas: rankų darbo popierių, natūralius pigmentus, namų gamybos klijus, tušą. Rankų darbo popierių pigmentuoju kakishibu (iš persimonų išgaunamais dažais), žemės pigmentais bei arbata. Tikiu, kad neapdirbtos ir natūralios medžiagos meno kūrinyje skleidžia tam tikrą energiją. Išryškėja unikali popieriaus, pigmentų ir tušo tekstūra ir grožis.
Mėgstu stebėti gamtą, būti čia ir dabar: kai reflektuojant sulėtėja tempas, kai priimi gyvenimą su visa jo tamsa, šviesa ir šešėliais, tuštuma ir gausa. Meninėje kelionėje man svarbi asmeninė tyrinėjimų ir atradimų filosofija. Svarbu pasikliauti intuicija, nesijaudinti dėl galutinio rezultato. Tuomet rankos ir teptukas juda natūraliu sąmonės srautu. Man menas – ne tik kūryba, bet ir savęs atskleidimo procesas, savotiškas proto ir kūno šokis. //
