An artist born and based in Vilnius, Lithuania that goes by ' VALERIJANDRE '
In 2016, gained a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design at The Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design ( London Metropolitan University ) and continued to be a self taught artist in the area of fine arts. Paintings sold to private collectors in London (UK) , Vienna (AUT) , Moscow (RU) and Israel.
Recently donated an original painting ‘Melt’ (2016) to the ‘Blossom of Hope 2018’ charity event by IWAV to help raise the funds for the biopsy needles to save the lives of Lithuanian women.
Finds the ability to create / paint the best self therapy and gives a chance to express herself loudly through the power of paint and colors. Paintings become an example of how art transforms the mind into the paint strokes where they grow into passionate, bold and unpredictable paths.
As a woman artist, I believe that artwork is the most powerful silent manifest that can cover the loudest debates in our society. Unintentionally, my work is a visual representation of my inner self, hence it becomes a mirror of the emotional world of any other woman. Paintings colorfully and silently, although powerfully, include stories, cover the emotions and depict the freedom through its expressive and bold brush strokes. It may look and seem as 'girly' but in my work, pink or purple is a reflection of the pink aura that represents the creativeness and celebrates the compassion to others. It's a never ending conversation of the body and mind.
