‘ŠIURPINYS’ is a book dedicated to children. It tells 13 horror stories inspired by Lithuanian folklore. The original narrative of each story was skillfully and playfully talled by children book writer Rasa Lazauskaite. I am so grateful for her that I had that wonderful opportunity to illustrate the book. It was such a colourful and experimental artistic adventure that I could not imagine I would ever have. I created 13 characteristic illustrations and more than 200 small drawings inspired by Rasa’s text.

I am an illustrator and a graphic designer, based in a sweet small home-town Rumšišk?s, in Lithuania. Drawing is a language I use to introduce myself and connect with other people. I use traditional and digital graphic techniques, as well as their combination, to transmit my ideas visually. My drawing is a pure graphic line, with a focus on every detail, the harmony of colours and profound emotional expression. The main theme of most of my works is nature and human-being, their interaction and reflection of each other. With my creation I try to achieve a positive impact on the perceiver.
