I’m Giedre Mockeliunaite, a Lithuanian-born artist and actress. My creative journey began long before I started painting in 2018, having spent many years performing in theatre and film. Painting has since become a new way for me to express the emotions and experiences that have shaped my life.

My background as a professional dancer, including touring with the renowned German band *Scooter*, sharpened my sense of movement and energy. These instincts naturally carried over into my acting career, where I played lead roles on stage and in films, always seeking to connect deeply with the audience. Now, I channel that same emotional intensity into my paintings, using vivid colors and intricate patterns to explore memory, imagination, and emotion.

For me, art is about contrasts—the rawness and beauty, energy and calm, fleeting moments that I capture on the canvas. Each painting is a reflection of my experiences in dance, theatre, and music. It’s a constant evolution, and with every brushstroke, I’m expressing what it means to be alive.

My first solo exhibition, *"Kind of Blue,"* was a tribute to jazz legend Miles Davis, where I used abstract forms to express the emotional depth of jazz music. My second, *"Urban Garden,"* was an attempt to create a serene oasis in the middle of a bustling urban venue, juxtaposing the chaos of city life with the tranquility of nature. Through these exhibitions, I wanted to invite people into a world where energy and stillness exist in harmony.

I’ve also ventured into fashion, collaborating with London-based designer J Phoenix on the *"Night Flight"* collection. Together, we created hand-painted, UV-reactive corsets that glow in the dark—a bold fusion of wearable art and self-expression.

Though I’m still finding my voice as a painter, I’m constantly driven by discovery and the urge to push creative boundaries. Whether on canvas, stage, or in collaboration, my work is about connecting with others and sharing life’s vibrant contrasts in a way that resonates on a deeper level.
