She is of Lithuanian descent: thirty generations of her family have always held in the highest regard the memory of their legendary ancestor-Prince Gedymin who lived as early as in the pagan times of Middle Ages. As befits a descendant of the family who once ruled the Great Princedom of Lithuania, she is a neoconservative. Her painting reflect a noble search for the beauty of natural and idyllic paradise. It is the world with could be seen during a magic, subcelestial flight. The most beautiful spaces open up like a dream before our eyes. We admire what human beings have always admired: Our Earth. We look at wild shores of the sea, steep rocks full of pathos and sublimeness, clouds witch haven’t been painted by anybody before. The artist’s virtuosity, her perfect technique and her sensitive eyes of a master recall the best tradition of both the French and English landscape paintings. Like Corot, Turner, she reacts to atmospheric phenomenons rather than architecture of landscape .Her fogs, dawns and twilights, her southern seas and northern fiords are the true poem woven from joy and nostalgia, power and weakness, pathos and pensiveness. Her pictures aren’t common landscapes. Her mountains are also beautiful sculptures and her oceans are impressive displays of firework, of sparkles and glitters, of sudden strokes of the brush illuminating like flashes. To the artist painting is everything. First of all it’s a mysterious ritual, during which she discovers like Theseus the secrets of Labyrinth. At the time of painting, listenig to the music without melody and rhythm, she put herself in an odd trans. She becomes her own medium. The painting space draws her into its interior. She stands on the thresholds of her pictures and then-like Bulhakow’s heroine passionately depicted in his “Master and Margarita”-she starts her flight to the lands of eternal beauty. It happened also to me: while looking at her pictures I got an irresistible feeling that I heard a sough of gentle breeze and smelled a sandy soil warmed by the sun .”Gdansk 27th February 1989 Professor Czeslaw Tumielewicz

Your work: I find the paintings skillfully executed in an expressive style that includes compositional aesthetics, as well as use of light and color to convey mood and emotion. The work reveals subtle form within a complex structure of abstraction to convey a sublime vision of the landscape. Resolute in style and milieu, the paintings achieve poignancy through a unique perspective that resonates throughout the cohesive presentation. I feel that the work will resonate well with our audience. Excellent work.
