So apparently I am studying once again. And this w So apparently I am studying once again. And this was my mini exhibition at the end of the first year master studies in textiles. Still one more year to go. My research theme revolves around the culture-nature dualism and how can art be a connecting point. How we can accept culture as part of nature and strengthen our relationship with the world around us, with one another and with ourselves. #connectionpoint #connect #culturenature #duality #dualism #acceptyourself #partofnature #exhibition #contemporarytextiles #embroidery #collectiveart
Goddess of Culture 🌳🌊 Culture is embedded Goddess of Culture 🌳🌊 Culture is embedded in an interconnected network of nature, it is not an opposition to it, but rather its mode of development. A way to adapt and grow in ever changing environment. It is a tool to communicate and connect with one another with all our similarities and differences. #goddess #culture #goddesofnature #watercolour #watercolorart #nature #connection #naturalnetwork #treeoflife #connectionwithnature #earth #connectionwithearth
"Culture - Nature" 🌱🏙️ I believe it matte "Culture - Nature" 🌱🏙️ I believe it matters how we perceive and how we talk about nature and culture. We tend to take the meanings of these words as given, but in fact they are quite blurry. The word "nature" in ancient Greek, Latin or Lithuanian(which is my native language) comes from "birth". But how we understand what it stands for has been changing throughout history. Nowadays we talk so much about protecting nature, but it is difficult to be completely sure what do we mean by that. Perhaps the most widespread idea is that nature is something opposite from human activities. But are we not nature? Are we not from this Earth, sharing our lives with interconnected cultures of nature? I say cultures of nature, because it is not only a word that describes human activities. It can also be used to describe a habitad with suitable conditions for growth. So if we are all linked in an intertwined network, should we not consider ourselves as part of the picture? And if we do so, then we should take care of ourselves and one another. And by that I mean taking care of all the parts that connect us together in this natural network. Cause if one part collapses the rest will follow. #natureculture #natures #naturebalance #naturalnetwork #naturecollage #cultureisnature #dichotomy #balance #relationship #naturalstructures #sustainableart #artforchange #collageforchange #environmentalcollage #collageforpeace #collageartwork
This one swims out from the previous work I shared This one swims out from the previous work I shared ("Hope"). I call it "Whale Shark in an Interconnected Ocean of Life" 🌊🐋🦈 Whale sharks are the biggest fish out there in the world's oceans, also they are the friendliest sharks. They are also globally endangered and on the Red List of Threatened species, due to the growth of unsustainable whale shark tourism, as well as habitat loss or degradation in the form of overfishing, coastal development, land-based pollution, increased boat traffic and noise pollution. How is this relevant in the current context of war? It is yet another representation of the crisis we are facing - of our greed and inconsiderate behaviours, the cracks in our relationships. Relationships with human and non-human neighbours. It is a reminder that everything is connected in the web of life we are all part of. #whaleshark #whalesharkart #whalesharkconservation #protectwhalesharks #protectoceanlife #endangeredspecies #ecologicalrestoration #artforchange #sustainabilitymatters #watercolourart #networksofnature
This one is called "Hope" and I believe it is some This one is called "Hope" and I believe it is something we need so much at this time. While it is hard to keep calm while people in Ukraine are suffering, fighting and dying, or are forced to flee their homes, because they no longer have homes, because it is not safe to stay, because there is not much else to do... Hope is one of those things that keeps us going. As long as we can lift our spirits with hope we will have an effect on our reality and perharps on a wider reality as well. #hope #outofthedarkness #lightofhope #stopwarinukraine #stopwar #stopputin #artforpeace #watercolourpainting #organicpainting #naturalstructures #abstractlandscape
When revising my artworks made a few months ago, I When revising my artworks made a few months ago, I find new meanings and connections with the current war in Ukraine. Because eventually it is all connected and when we think about sustainability of ecosystems, we tend to think about connection and collaboration, rather than disconnection and destruction. What we do on this Earth leaves marks that can never be erased and will affect the future. Just like the wars we fight, destroying cities, people and culture, eroding the structures of the natural network. What gets destroyed will be lost forever or take a long time to rebuilt. #culturalheritage #culturalcontexts #humandestruction #war #humanimpact #artforchange #sustainableart #collageforchange #collageart #analogcollage #handcut #collageforpeace #collagesociety #collagestory

The Earth is increasingly bleeding. We not only de The Earth is increasingly bleeding. We not only destroy our environment, but we also destroy each other, and effectively ourselves. These days I have been watching Ukrainians defending themselves in the war they didn't want, dying because of someone's greed and paranoias. This war is so close, just around the corner, I can feel it. Fear, anxiety and sadness makes it hard to sleep or just go on with day to day life. Is it going to stop? Or continue? Is it going to reach us? And when? #bleedingearth #stopputin #stopthewar #savetheplanet #russianwar #russiaattacksukraine #destruction #imbalance #fear #anxiety #watercolourpainting #watercolourart #weareallconnected
"World on Fire" I look back at this artwork creat "World on Fire" I look back at this artwork created a few months ago and find that it resonates with the events of today. The day that Russia started a full on war with Ukraine. It sums up the crazy times we live in. Hopefully we can look back at these events one day and find that we have learned some valuable lessons. And stop repeating the mistakes over and over again. #worldonfire #worldcrisis #humanitycrisis #russianukrainianwar #war #worldwar3 #welcometothetopoftheworld #crisisofmeaning #brokenworld #watercolourcollage #collageforpeace #collagestory #absurdist_collageclub #collageart
"Endangered Future" As Arturo Escobar writes in h "Endangered Future" As Arturo Escobar writes in his book "Designs for the Pluriverse" humanity is facing an interrelated crisis of climate, food, energy, poverty and meaning. And what we need to solve this crisis is no less than reinvention of human. I believe we need to address the root causes of it by rethinking our purpose in this interconnected natural network we are part of, finding meaning in our relationship with nature, including one another. #endangered #future #crisis #environmentalcrisis #crisisofmeaning #colonialexploitation #colonialmind #environmentalart #artfirchange #collage #collagist #collageonpaper #collagestory #collageartist #vintagemagazine #collageforchange #collageforclimate #collageforpeace #absurdist_collageclub
Today is the last day of my exhibition in @munivea Today is the last day of my exhibition in @muniveartecontemporaneo and I am sharing a few more photos from the opening night two weeks ago. I hope this exhibition left a mark on someone or raised questions about human activities and their impact on the network of nature, as well as our contribution the wellbeing of this planet. I like how each exhibition marks a start of a new stage. I remember the exhibition I did over two years ago, I said to myself I will find more time to make art and I also said I will explore collages more. And that's what happened, in this exhibition I had not only many more collages, but also textiles found a way back into my artworks. Let's see what happens next.
