More about the artist:
“For some time I created ceramic works. I have created five interior ceramic panels for different institutions in Điauliai as well as souvenir - occasion plates, portaits and medals of smaller size. In 1989 I started drawing. For me a pencil is the most attractive and comfortable tool. I take part in exhibitions with the works created in graphite, colouring pencils, pastel, sometimes tempera. Figure compositions are prevailing in my creative works. I like improvising with a woman’s figure, bird silhouettes, their moods...” (I. Ambrazienë)
