“Living water”
In the summer of 2020, the Fluxus Bridge next to the Bernardine Garden in Vilnius was flooded with two 12-meter waterfalls by the artist Oscar Gud. The artistic installation was called “Prakriti”, meaning nature, source and primordial, tangible, material state, behind which lies liberation. The view of the river through the falling water created by the installation became the inspiration for my painting work.
“The Spark of Lighting”
On a stuffy summer night, thousands of insects revolve around a street lamp. Light attracts them, they believe in it, long for it, fly at it, collide and fly again, spin wheels, repeat the path to light. With their dance of longing for light, they create a wonderful field of luminous, chaotic but purposefully moving lights. The enchanting movement of light beetles is the eternal dance of our thoughts, the onslaught of light, into a better imaginary state.
“Green light”
Old mannequin torso from the first Julia Janus fashion period. After the shops closed, the torso remained unsold due to a cracked part of the neck. That day, the sunlight fell through the different leaves of the houseplants so that the yellow-green, in contrast to the blue shades, simply stunned its intense color. The canvas-covered frame seemed too flat to convey that testimony of life. In this way, the “injured” torso of the mannequin turned into a painting – a sculpture, which I called “Green Light”.
“Secret Thought”
Every thought, idea, conception is secret until it is expressed to at least one person. Secret thoughts fade and disappear, some return, some come with a sense of “eureka” discovery, become a word and a body, thus giving birth to the world. I think that souls, like thoughts, are constantly flowing between us, remaining a mystery until a place and an opportunity to become a body are formed.
Pati sau modelis
2020 m. kurdama tapybos darbus, po to mados stilių, bei naują „Julia Janus“ koncepciją dėl pandemijos visą laiką praleidau namuose.
Natūraliai kolekcijos Lookbook‘ui ir „editorial“ fotosesijai tapau pati sau modeliu ir namuose radau tas vietas, kurios atspindi mano inspiracijos šaltinių - tapybos darbų vibracijas.
