A person who creates is the happiest. He is also an observer, researcher, experimenter, martyr and discoverer who touches everyday life, the past and feels the inevitability of the future.
My creative touches in graphics, painting, sculptural forms are interpretations of thought and object, expressed in aesthetic forms through the prism of symbolism. The world is already wonderful, and the marks of signs through line, color and shape allow us to witness it with endless stylistic change. Arūnas Vaitkus.
