The creative motto of artist Giedra Purlytė:
“Esthetics, color. Silence, that is wanted to listen. Nature‘s interpretations. Secret, intuitive search for emotional truth. I don‘t seek to shock. The main aim – to create harmonious whole in the canvas and to speak in the painting language, to express myself through the color, which I keep a powerful expression‘s measure, and the light – the main painting work‘s axis“.
