Printmaking
My interest in Printmaking started while studying Art History & Theory at Vilnius Academy of Arts. As part of the Academic Curriculum, we were urged to try various other forms of creative expression in other of the Academy’s departments in order to have a first-hand experience and understanding of the various processes and thus to be able to write about it with certainty. Printmaking was my first choice. I was very lucky that Lithuanian – Parisian based graphic artist and intellectual Žibuntas Mikšys (1923-2013) came to Vilnius to deliver a creative workshop at the time. His lucid presence, curiosity, humour, and occasionally his scathing remarks, as well as his sensitivity, is still the driving force behind his imparted love for the medium.
