Eglė Pilkauskaitė ^{Emerging artist}

Artist is based in: Lithuania

I am a young artist who hasn‘t narrowed down her path yet and is restless about it. I have just finished my master‘s studies at Vilnius Academy of Arts, and I am unsure of what to do next – I was adamant about taking a break from painting (mainly because of how personal and emotionally charged most of my works are, partly because I feel lost now), but I can‘t stop thinking about it and art in general. I am so weary, but I can‘t imagine myself being satisfied with life fully, being fully sated by it, if I do not create something. I have finally come back to writing poetry, I am excited about writing songs, meeting new people and creating something together. And yet, I fear I am not fiery enough to keep going; am I even suited for putting myself out there? I want my art to be seen and known, but recognition takes work, and I‘m not even sure I want to be recognised. It‘s as though I am constantly waiting for something to come up, for something to clear up my doubts about myself, my art, and where we‘re supposed to be heading. And still, I will probably regret not trying at all way more than trying and getting something out of it, right?
