Biography

Graduated from the Lithuanian Art Institute in 1966.1967-1990 worked at the Vilnius Art Exhibition Hall, 1994-2005 taught at the Vilnius Academy of Arts.

He paints mainly still lifes ("Still Life with an Electric Brick" 1972) and landscapes ("Electricity Introduction" 1978), often merging these genres into a single one, and less often figural compositions ("K. at the Railway Station" 1972). The work is characterised by a deromanticised approach to the environment, frequent motifs of discarded and decaying objects, and an emphasis on their relationship with nature. The paintings are expressive and colouristic, ranging from pale, subdued ("Morning Drawing", 1983) to brightly coloured ("Motor", 1972). In the 1980s, he emerged in the art scene together with his colleagues Arvydas Šaltenis, Kostas Dereškevičius and Algimantas Švėgžda. These artists challenged the uplifting, majestic themes that had prevailed in painting until then.



1989-2000 member of the group "24". Since 1966 he has participated in exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad - Finland, Hungary, Austria, France, Russia, USA, Sweden, Germany, Great Britain, etc.
