Aaron.

Oil on canvas and mixed media. I painted the portrait of this child while still living in Lithuania. I took a photo of the painting with a primitive digital camera I had at the time, and that is all I ended up having, since the painting went missing. Then, just recently, I discovered this image and finished it digitally.

My Little Boat.

Painted it in Dublin, Ireland, and after years passed, I realize that this is exactly how I felt during that time. Very little and not giving up. I think that throughout the time I only became smaller.

Painting from Film.

Sometimes I stop frames while watching a film and paint. In this way I study from all, director, actor, light artist, and cinematographer.

Painted in France.

I painted these during my half-a-year stay in France in 2009. Preproduction of the first three episodes of Oah & Harlam stories was made at ENSAD, a film school in Paris. During this time I took a painting class with Mark Tunguy, a French contemporary painter.

LifeDrawing.

Sessions with a model at CalArts are always long and fun, and it is a journey on its own. I experiment a lot, discover something interesting and then continue moving in that direction. 

PARIS sketchbook.

I had a Moleskine sketchbook and a three tubes of acrylic primary colors with me in France. These is some from the sketchbook.
