Materials: clay. My name is eglė šimkus, and i was born in lithuania in 1990 to a russian mother and a lithuanian father. I lived in lithuania until 1999 when i arrived in france. My artistic work explores the deep connection between the intimate and the surrounding environment. I blend different forms of artistic expression, including writing, painting, and sculpture, to create a dialogue between the body and its context. In my work, i seek to deconstruct the traditional form to convey different perspectives of reality. Surrealism exerts a major influence, where painting becomes a fusion of ideas and elements in an imaginary world. The human body plays a central role in my creation, serving as the foundation and essence of my works. My sculptures seem to emerge from a buried and unreal world, creating fantastical forms that combine surrealism with elements of contemporary life. My work with clay is a process of gestation, where organic forms are born from introspection. I sculpt clay as if it were stone, thus creating a direct link between the unconscious and the body. My creations invite viewers to explore fragments of enigmatic stories, populated by chimeras. less
