About Eurika Urbonavičiūtė
Eurika Urbonavičiūtė
Eurika’s work stands out from the rest because of unique subject – painter captures life impressions. Artists believe, that small impressions make joy of life.
Crafted for at least couple of months, multi-layered paintings with persistent texture usually hides folklore, mysticism and pagan symbolism elements, which author touch after touch inweaves altogether with surreal painting style, making Eurika Art recognisable across the globe.
Artist was born in Šiauliai, Lithuania. After school graduation Eurika studied architecture in Vilniaus Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) where she made her first steps towards art and painting.
In 2009 Eurika has discovered her unique painting technique – multilayer oil on canvas painting with special texture. Since then artist started to paint actively and her unique technique is her authentic signature. Additionaly author started to use this technique in graphic arts.
Eurika has painted more than 60 pieces of art that are acquired by collectors in Lithuania and abroad.
After the exhibition in 2011, Eurikas has been granted a name of Folk artist and joined Folk artists union.
Eurika has participated in other exhibitions:
2012 – exhibition „Impression“ in Vilnius Kairėnai Botanical garden;
2012 – Cristmas exhibition in Druskininkai aquapark.
2013 – Participated in national Folk art competition in Alanta estate.
My painting technique is multi-layered. At the beginning I use special priming technique, where I obtain salience effect. After this, layer after layer, special texture is formed. The texture resembles mystic baltic culture symbols and Zodiac, ornaments. The Plot of the painting is drawn with Oil on canvas. Canvas are being stretched over the subframe. The painting is being varnished. This painting tehnique provides painting with durability that can last for centuries. From the first step to the framing it takes atleast1 to 3 months for the painting to be completed.
My works are not a mainstreeam product. Because of long and complicated artistic and painting process only several of my works are being released every year. You will not find identical plots in any of my works, every work is unique and only one in the world.
