For Eglė Šimkus, creation aims to capture the essence of the life force flowing through her being. Through this collection, Eglė Šimkus strives to immortalize the immaterial, primal emotions, childhood memories, and the unconscious.
This shadowy aspect present in each of us is like an ember that persists, scorched somewhere between life and death. Her works appear as fragments of intimate journals intended for the other residing within each of us. Her work is interdisciplinary, incorporating photography and pencil drawing.
For Eglė Šimkus, art is a daily practice that extends far beyond the studio.
Research and observation of the world occupy a central place in this work. Like an alchemist, Eglė Šimkus explores her environment in search of materials, textures, and colors that complement each other. Sensory perception of the world informs her reflection. She is imbued with the energies that pass through her and the imprints they leave on her.
