Diana herself is from the Rokiškis district and currently lives in Vilnius. Art and creativity have been in his life for many years and intensely developed in 12 years. Flowers and meadows, the sea, boats and tractors are the main reasons.
– Diana, you mentioned that you no longer have photos with the tractor. Do you buy them immediately?
– It did not fit as much on a tractor as on meadows or lawns. In terms of popularity, meadows and pastures would be in first place, the sea in second place, tractors in third place and boats in fourth place. These reasons are closer to my heart.
It was an old dream to have a tractor exhibition, but there was no way to gather so many real paintings in one place; my tractors are still going. So that’s the fascinating thing about quarantine virtuality: I can present an exhibition. By the way, as soon as a member of the Seimas called, he suggested that a tractor show also be organized at the Seimas. Unless later, a year later, click and paint as much.
I am one of those artists who rides plein airs, therefore my tractors are from all corners of Lithuania and are often painted the same way.
There was a stage in my life when I taught philosophy. I even have three higher education degrees.
– Wondering why it became a tractor?
– Yes. I was wondering why fields and tractors. Probably because my childhood was spent among meadows and tractors growing up in the fields.
– And then why the sea and the boats?
– I dont know. I’m very beautiful.
– All your tractors painted – with their own story?
– Yes, and they are all real. None is invented. I know where everyone was, I have photos of almost everyone. When I travel and see a tractor, if I can crouch on it, I somehow inspect it, Took a pic. If there is a possibility, then I have become nice. Yes, I like it better. If not, later, from the photo. My friends and I constantly send pictures of tractors. Says this is worth it.
– And what is your brush worth?
– One who is much older, who has a lot of experience and life scars. It is more interesting, it is different, having acquired an individual character. When they are new to a factory, yard, or any farm equipment store, they are the same. Tractor as a tractor. It is like a robot.
But when you live a part of your life, you become unique, individual. It doesn’t have to be very old. It may be quite new, but unique: in an interesting environment, interesting people work with it in some jobs. The individuality of the tractor makes it interesting, like any painting object.
– Where is the poetry of the tractor?
– I dont know. I am beautiful. When I was a child, I saw them as if they floated in the field. The shape is very nice: two big wheels, two smaller wheels. By the way, when I was a child, my grandfather bought toy-tractors. Mom buys a doll and Grandpa a tractor. The doll does not seem beautiful to me and I put the tractor on the bed.

– In what spaces do people have such paintings on the stand?
– I don’t know everything. One person hung up in the bedroom, another company manager in his office. I still know there is one in the sauna.
– He also shares stories with pictures in his book. You told me that a Ukrainian artist sent you a photo of a tractor. You liked it so much that you painted that green beetle hidden in the bushes. A year later, in Poland, in the Beskids, he met the owner of a tractor.
– Yes, this story is very good. There were more and more. Once I was standing next to a tractor in the village, I asked the host to leave me. The tractor that had just run was expressive, with grease underneath.
I stopped and painted. The owner arrived, told the story of the tractor, his relationship with the tractor, how he worked on the collective farm and how the tractor inherited it from the collective farm. Then ask: do you want icecream I would quite like it because it was a hot day.
He brought me ice cream and I see the door open and his wife looks at me angrily. I thought, wouldn’t I be jealous of the tractor and ice cream scene? But nothing, I painted calmly.
There was a tractor in Poland that reminded me of an angry pokemon. He was standing in a boiler room, where chips were burned and the city was supplied with heat; apparently sawdust was carried with it. I usurped it and the workers began to tremble: paint faster. So it was necessary to turn around quickly.

At the Joniškis Agricultural School, I climbed an iron fence so that I could paint a tractor from nature. The door was closed. We climbed together with another artist, tipping that fence and holding it down. Then we become. Most of the pictorial memories are related to tractors and boats.

Ships can be a nobler object than a tractor. They dissect the expanses of the sea. It’s fun to talk to the ship’s crew when you turn into a ship. By the way, last year, during the days of the capital, I was exhibiting my boat painted blue. A man came up to me and said: here is my boat. Where is he from? The boat was painted in Liepaja and it turned out that the man who had approached had sold his boat to buyers from Liepaja.
Boats are more difficult to reach and tractors are more or less evenly distributed throughout the area. If you don’t drive to the sea every day, you can find a tractor every day – you drive from Vilnius and it is already a tractor.
– How did creativity come into your life in general?
– There was a stage in my life when I taught philosophy. I even have three higher education degrees. And then somehow I would reconsider that I want to focus more on creativity, so now that’s what I’m doing. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy and a Bachelor of Arts.
– And what is the third education?
– Do not laugh. Law and governance. But it is when I paint that I feel in my place.
– But he hasn’t tried to rule the state yet. Would you like that too?
– I tried! I even raced down the Seimas twice. All was. But not really … At least it attracts.
– A lot of color in your life.
– My paintings also speak of the fact that there are many colors in life. No need to stop at gray or red.
