Philosophy — “Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry."
This principle underpins my creative process, wherein I endeavor to embody the timeless ideals of Japanese aesthetics. These ideals manifest in my work through minimalist compositions, subtlety, natural materials, and calligraphic strokes. I aim to uncover greatness in the inconspicuous — in the overlooked details, the subtle, the tentative. Through my practice, I explore the balance between materials and structure, intentionally introducing imperfection into each creation. I work with natural elements such as handmade paper, linen, ink, earth pigments, natural dyes, and homemade glue, believing that these raw materials carry a unique energy. My artistic journey is driven by a philosophy of exploration and discovery, marked by a mindful observation of nature and a practice of being present in the moment: slowing down, noticing, reflecting, and embracing the essence of life in all its contrasts—darkness and light, shadow and illumination, emptiness and abundance.

Filosofija - Savo darbuose siekiu įkūnyti japonų estetikos principus, kurie mano darbuose pasireiškia minimalistinėmis kompozicijomis, subtilumu, natūraliomis medžiagomis, kaligrafiniais potėpiais. Žaidžiu su medžiagomis, struktūromis ir savo kūriniuose siekiu įnešti netobulumo prieskonio. Dirbu su natūraliomis medžiagomis: rankų darbo popieriumi, linu, natūraliais pigmentais, natūraliais dažais, namų gamybos natūraliais klijais. Neapdirbtos ir natūralios medžiagos perteikia tam tikrą energiją meno kūrinyje. Meninėje kelionėje įasmeninu tyrinėjimų ir atradimų filosofiją. Savo kūrybinį kelią manifestuoju stebėdama gamtą ir praktikuodama buvimą akimirkoje: sulėtinant tempą, pastebint, reflektuojant, priimant gyvenimo esmę visoje jos tamsoje ir šviesoje, šešėlyje ir šviesoje, tuštumoje ir gausoje. //
