Drawing Workshop with a Snail, with Žygimantas Julijus Bėrontas
Helical fundamentals of composition. Primary-secondary-tertiary monsters. Printing a collective poster

Today, in the depths of my heart, I feel how love is the moisture that sustains life and gives it meaning. I am like a drop of heavenly dew, gently humbling and carrying the life force from the higher worlds to the lower. Nothing in life is without my existence, and in everything I remain close, as if on purpose, although I am not quite known. As if my fears were too simple to allow myself to truly come down to earth...

I feel my inherited lines pressing in on me, forcing me to live a certain life for which I am perhaps not ready. Sometimes the pressure is so strong that I feel it on the physical plane of my body, as if something is pressing on my skin and leaving marks. These lines become not only signs of the past, but also of the future.

Every thought of the pains and joys we have experienced are like monsters of the soul, which do not return to the living body, but are embodied in our creations and impressions, like an autonomous spirit, forming new meanings. As the saying goes, the original confused spiritual embodiment creates monsters, but our real “secondary monsters” are those born out of our own creativity and emotional education. There will be tertiary ones, but only later, because the past is like the unread scriptures whose meaning is only revealed to those who search with devotion and love. So, let’s go of our everyday past, in which layers of insight are embodied and acknowledged, and create new figures.

The work of Žygimantas Julijus Bėrontas is like an underground world, where usually unnoticed or misunderstood Beings (lately, a Fly, a Snail, a Makita vacuum cleaner and many others) gain a voice and find a space to tell their story. Žygimantas is helped by cockroaches and other various Dwarves in his search for ways to expand and connect the boundaries of different disciplines and to look for alternatives to conventional narratives. For being born under the sign of Aries, creativity is also a kind of rebellion against boredom and a way to ignite oneself and others to see reality in a new way, realizing its multi-layered and magical nature.
