Inga Darguzyte

I'm printmaker, art history and printmaking teacher and freelance project’s coordinator. I graduated Vilnius Fine Art’s academy, Vilnius, Lithuania (Master degree).
Now I am working with international educational, social art projects. I have organized graphic art projects with Finland (Joensuu-Vilnius-Joensuu, 2004, 2005); Norway (,,Across”. Norwegian and Lithuanian printmaking, 2008) and etc.
I have participated in various seminars, forums (PVAF, Scotland, UK) and workshops (Rauma, Finland, 2005; Boras, Sweden, 2004), residency programs from 2003 in Scandinavia, UK, Spain.
Since 2000 I am a member of Lithuanian artist’s association graphic section. I have been creating small-scale graphic works and paper objects for ten years. My art inspired by travel is dominated by unique motifs of mythologized landscape-timeless image without any location reference. My prints are less about representing the geological force of landscape, but rather about re-enacting then manually through own hand and arm movement. Prints create not so much an image, but rather a feeling of intensity and force that can be equated with the larger dynamics of the natural world.
My life on the move (besides actual printmaking, also acts as a curator) resulted in a type of a universal-traveling artist. I have made 18 solo exhibitions and participated in 13 workshops and symposiums in Lithuania and abroad, won international awards.
