Artworks by Deimante Bruzguliene

“When it is my time to leave this world, I wish to do so knowing that I have left paintings
that inspire others to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.”

 I have been a lifelong artist. I've been drawing since I can remember. Art class has always been my favourite class. My style is realist, as I am obsessed with detail. I have always had a deep love of animals and nature. I find inspiration in all kinds of creatures, both domestic and wildlife, big, small, or in between. My favourite subjects are wildlife.  I love drawing animals as it is a way of accessing the secrets of the natural world. I can see their souls through their eyes, which I try to capture in my paintings. Animals are as individual as humans, but for me they manifest a purer and more genuine spirit to the outside world than do human beings. I can love animals by painting them, leaving a legacy of their existence and hopefully bringing to the viewer the same joy that I experience painting them. I would like more people to be able to experience the connection that I have with animals. I wish to take this further to really convey that animals have their own personality and soul. Every portrait I do enriches my life, for the subject enters my heart.

We are all connected. Connections are magical, providing an opportunity to nurture patience, compassion, love and caring. My art is motivated by my deep conviction that humans and animals share this beautiful earth as brothers and sisters. With my art, I’m hoping to awaken a sense of connection with the animals. Each animal is recognizable, soulful and spirited. Capturing the spirit and emotion of the animal or pet in a drawing is what my animal art are all about. I look into the eyes trying to figure the animals inner soul. For me the eyes tell it all. I want to touch people with my art. I have loved animals all of my life and find it very rewarding to highlight these creatures through my artwork.

 Out of the many materials available for artists to use, I particularly like to use pencils. Pencils give me the chance to make mistakes and correct them.
