My creative work credo “Positive thoughts and emotions reflect in each work“ strongly effects my paintings. That is why I work only when I feel peace and brightness inside.
I admire Japanese painting and I am largely influenced by Eastern philosophy.
His series for spotteart.com is from the artist’s latest creative period, made through experiments with ashes and oil paints to reach a maximum feeling of nature.

"Mainly abstract, the works in Time Passing are spontaneous and rich in texture. These collage abstractions leave the space for imagination, reading time on their own accord." - Vigintas
