Gintare is an American artist whose work exists between memory, imagination, and the natural world. Drawn to softness, movement, and layered atmospheres, her paintings feel fluid and immersive—unfolding rather than fixed.

Born in Lithuania, Gintare was raised in a deeply artistic environment shaped by music, theater, and the visual arts. A former child prodigy and later a composer and pianist, her early creative life was rooted in music alongside training in visual disciplines including printmaking and illustration. This foundation continues to inform her sense of rhythm, composition, and emotional nuance.

Maine has been Gintare’s home since 1982, with periods of living and working between New York and England, as well as extensive time spent across Europe. Years of travel and close study of historical works in museums and cultural institutions quietly shaped her visual language.

Over time, painting became her primary focus. Guided by intuition, her practice allows imagery to emerge organically through color, gesture, and form. Figures, florals, and natural elements appear and dissolve, suggesting inner landscapes as much as external ones.

Gintare has exhibited at Carver Hill Gallery and Bangor Art Gallery, with a solo show at Siela in Chicago. Her work is currently on view at Leslie Curtis Gallery in Camden, Maine.

Her paintings offer quiet, contemplative spaces—works meant to be lived with, revisited, and felt over time, inviting viewers to bring their own memories and emotions into the experience.
