Artist Spotlight - Angelė Šimoliūnienė
Biography
I am from Lithuania. Drawing has been my favourite activity since childhood. When I was working as a teacher of Lithuanian language and literature, I enrolled in the Music Academy to study directing. For 3 years I have been delving deeper into Third Millennium Psychology, based on Western and Eastern philosophy. I studied Art History at the Art Academy.

Our children come to us through us, we bring them up and let them go into life to continue on their own path. In the same way, my creations are like my children. They came through me and I released them into the world. They are precious to me because they have opened up a wider view of the world and what is beyond it.

Looking at my paintings, I realised what is communicated to me through them, that there is a world that is invisible to us, that we are never alone, that we are always being watched – our actions and especially our thoughts are under constant surveillance.

There are many forces of good and evil around. If our actions and thoughts are pure, evil does not come near us because we are surrounded by positive energies. If our thoughts are bad, we are enveloped by negative energy, which attracts more evil and overwhelms us. My paintings reveal this attitude. I paint when inspiration comes, when I feel the energy. Pictures are viewed from 3-5 meters. I have been painting in acrylics for ten years.

Artist Statement
My paintings are an open dialogue with the world. When physical and abstract art coexist harmoniously. The motifs are symbolic in nature and open to various interpretations. They mostly touch on human life, its feelings, its essence on this earth. I paint without looking, I simply guide the brush across a sheet of paper, following my feeling, without thought.

This is how my paintings are born - intuitively, without me knowing where the information encoded in them comes from.It seems that the subconscious controls my hand.
