Luana Stebule Bio and Statement-
I have now been living and creating for a nearly a decade in the
United Kingdom. My works previously included many projects for
theatrical stage settings, mural paintings, together with 24 solo and 37
shared exhibitions in Europe: Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Lithuania,
Hungary, Poland, England and in the United States.
To briefly recap I was born in Lithuania, in 1962. In Antanas Martinaitis
Art School and Academy of Art I was taught art techniques, styles and
the finer points of the craft. However, I think amongst the most
important influences in the creativity, deepest understanding and
originality in my work comes from infinity, God and immortality. The
spiritual level of artworks is very important to me. Many years ago,
Leonardo Da Vinci wrote “Where the spirit does not work with the
hand there no art”.
My artworks are poems on canvas. In order to achieve particular
expressions, I stylize forms by simplifying them in my own unique
way. My pictures have elements of surrealism, pointillism and
conceptualism. The idea behind artwork is very important to me. My
current artworks are traditional, oil on canvas, though for many years
my favourite technique was the production of collages with use of
numerous materials including wood, sawdust, mirrors, leather and
textiles. Layer by layer these imbued the richness of the final surface.
The pictures provide a physical body to juxtapose and suffuse it
veritably with a jazz of visual performance.
Picture sales have previously been by traditional methods of
exhibitions and word of mouth, only in 2018, when I participated in Art
Expo New York, I created a website and become visible on the world
of the internet.
