Aiste Gureviciute
Born in 1984, Vilnius/Lithuania
I am a London based artist since 2004.
Through my art I am trying to break through the mass illusion of 'existing normal' by exploring my own imagination and translating every day experiences with added wonders of my own mind. I embrace, and through my art try to encourage others to embrace, the childlike sense of wonder. I view the world as a new born with thousands of questions and an urge to explore and experience as much as I am able to, keeping the true self as pure as possible without outside influence. I love to learn new ways of expression through arts, this way I am finding a new self and a refined view to what I already know. Art has been, since little days, a way of life for me. While creating I enter a quite state of mind which acts as a massive comfort protecting me from my own ego, from outside world's rush, worries and mind noise. I disappear as a physical object and become a force which then controls a pen, pencil or any other technique enabling me to express whatever is coming. I believe that the act of creating is a way of meditation, a cure from destructive society we live in and I strongly encourage others to see it that way. Through my observations I have come to conclusion that we as human beings are much more powerful than we imagine and creating allows me to unleash and explore my own powers and hopefully show others that they can too.
I have been involved in charity projects, worked with children, young offenders, mature and known artists, designers and photographers. I am currently about to start few theatrical projects and very interested in collaborations with other artists.
