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

Raised in a highly intellectual and artistic environment shaped by music, theater, architecture, and the visual arts, Gintare’s early creative life was rooted in rigorous academic training. Born in Lithuania and raised within its rich cultural tradition, she was a former child prodigy and later a composer and pianist. Growing up, daily museum visits and evenings at the opera were a way of life. With a composer father and a singer and conductor mother, her formative years were deeply informed by music, literature, and visual expression—foundations that continue to shape her sense of rhythm, composition, and emotional nuance.

Her cosmopolitan sensibility was further shaped through extensive travel and periods of living and working between New York, London, and Oxford. Years of close study of historical and contemporary works in museums and cultural institutions across Europe and the United States quietly informed her visual language and evolving style.

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. In works such as Drifting Gardens, her use of color and scale reaches an almost operatic intensity—addressing fragility, beauty, and the impermanence of existence, alongside an underlying urgency around the ecological state of the planet.

Now based in Maine, Gintare draws inspiration from the region’s dramatic landscapes—mountains, lakes, and wild ocean coastlines—as well as its rich cultural life. Her paintings offer quiet, contemplative spaces meant to be lived with, revisited, and felt over time, inviting viewers to bring their own memories and emotions into the experience.
