Born in 1980 in Kėdainiai, Lithuania, I have lived in Switzerland since 2015. I currently live and work in Richterswil, Canton Zurich.

Trained as an attorney-at-law, I specialised in intellectual property and competition law, contracts and litigation. For nearly a decade, my work involved navigating human behaviour, power dynamics and social structures. Eventually, I turned to art, seeking another way of living.

In 2025, I began my Bachelor's studies in Fine Arts at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU), School of Design, Film and Art.

“It’s okay if she’s not good at math – she’s a girl.” That’s what a teacher once said about my daughter. A man who had spent his life shaping generations of young minds. In that single sentence lived an entire worldview. This statement gave the beginning to my entire artistic path. 

I was a provincial girl, raised in Soviet and post-Soviet Lithuania, carrying the whole postcolonial bouquet of inferiority and hunger for a better life. Possibly that is why I first became a lawyer. I did well. For ten years, I negotiated power, contracts, deception, and justice – until I realized I had become a servant of power systems. I became an artist.  

My work is an inquiry into life itself – its material and invisible structures, bodies and energies. The human body must be in my art. I paint, sculpt, and construct around it. 

Oil, clay, glass, water, plants, metal – each can become a messenger. I am drawn to the principles that govern the world: gravity, circulation, attraction, decay. 

I revisit history – even prehistory – searching for beginnings and the forces behind them. The ancient Venuses, I would rather call them Bobos, the primordial female figures, the order of power and archetypes — all are still inside us. 

I want to reread them with an open gaze toward what it means to be human now, today, in the future. Art, to me, is a power to reveal and cause discomfort. It is a practice of seeing beyond our immediate attention. 

So – what do you see?
