Oil on wood
43 x 38 cm
2026
I am a Lithuanian-British painter who works mainly in oils from my studio in Sheffield and en plein air. I became an artist after a research career in neuroscience which still influences how I perceive the visual world. As I paint, I consider how the brain’s visual system interprets shapes and contrast to create a sense of realism, light and mood.
Most of my work is either landscape or still life and gravitates towards everyday subject matter. I am interested in how to evoke a particular emotion, be that nostalgia, loneliness or joy in easily overlooked scenes and objects. Most of my work is small and completed alla prima and from life, benefiting from my immediate and direct response to the subject.
