About Aidonas:
My name is Aidonas and I am French. Since childhood, I traveled a lot and lived in different countries due to my father’s work. So I grew up in different cultures and got exposed to various folk lore. I developed a sensitivity to the different and uncommon. When I was young, I used to read a lot about mythologies, vampires, faeries, etc. and all that is related to magic. I ended up developing my own world in which mysticism and mythology coexist in me. I was passionate about drawing from a young age, I used to draw all the time, and everywhere.
In time, I became an architect and worked in Paris. I wasn’t very happy about the path I chose, as I secretly wanted to become an artist since my youngest age. So, two years ago I decided to become what I truly wanted to be. I truly believe things happen for a reason. Now, I am a Parisian illustrator and work freelance.
Artist Statement:
I create universes inspired by mythology, mysticism and esotericism.
Nature also plays an important place in my world as well as in my creative process. I am constantly looking for new subjects to study and represent. Poetry, literature and music nourish my spirit, and the Moon is my Muse. I create using different techniques; charcoal, white chalk, graphite and digital drawing.
My drawings come from my imagination and I also create portraits on demand, whose inspiration is drawn mainly from myths and legends.
I invite you to explore my gallery and see my work in progress on my Instagram page.
