Who are you?
My name is Giedrius Jokubauskis and I'm currently based in Lithuania. I have lived in Sweden and Egypt for the last 6 years, where I got enriched by different cultural experiences and lifestyles. Being an amateur photographer I was always fascinated with architecture and cities. While living in Cairo I started to explore the connection between social patterns and social life within different segments of Egyptian society and their urban/architectural environment. At the same time, I realized that photography as a medium is not sufficient enough to express my ideas so this forced me to look for a more suitable medium and this is how I discovered digital art techniques that I'm using in almost all of my recent projects. In this light, I consider myself to be an enthusiast of digital art.
What are you inspired by?
I'm very much inspired and fascinated by architecture and I'm still exploring different aspects of human/social interaction with the urban/architectural space. I’m also very much inspired by all sort of human experiences that relate to my belief in constant self-rediscovery and self-transformation. Traveling brings a lot of visual inspirations too.
What was the last movie you watched?
The last movie I watched was “The Circle” (original title “Der Kreiss”). It was a highly moving experience.
What was the last book you read?
Just started reading “Guapa” by Saleem Haddad.
Do you have any role model?
Not sure I have a role model. But I might still discover one in the future.
What is your next creative project?
My next project (or rather one I’m working on now) is about architecture of boundaries and separation where I’m exploring how religion and different religious beliefs related aspects are imposed upon societies and separate individuals.
