acrylic and oil on canvas
In 7th grade I had peers I don’t know come up to me and talk about my ass. Once after parking I had an old man chase me and call me a slut for front parking. I had an old guy spit on me at a bus stop. One was chasing me in a 9 floor stairway. I’m surrounded by phalluses that are forced into places they should’nt be. They are peeing in my party. In this painting I’m portraying every person with my face, showing my multiplicity. Every man is full of sexual energy with a condom in his pocket or hands on his junk. Every woman is gifted with birthday candles, that I, the worlds ass, am distributing from the windowsill. It’s a symbol of awareness.I want to teach all women to draw their boundaries, stop apologising and accomodating themselves. Men are drinking menstrual bloodd. The phallic lamp on the wall becomes erect when there’s a woman nearby. There’s a person that does not know how to use the gift of awareness. She’s jealous. There’s a woman who’s scared to puff the birthday candle smoke. And finally there’s a man stepped in something. Me. He stepped on me, he trampled me, he pouted his lip and got disguisted. I am the unneeded luxury in a party – a king prawn. This painting was a finalist to ZABOLIS art prize 2026, based on Lithuanian novel „Vilniaus pokeris”. This novel showed me, that I can be more open, more in pain, more disguisting, just like it is in real life. I had a lot of cursewords and phalluses collecting inside. Until reading that book, I was scared to let them come up to the surface. But finally I felt the right to talk about my reality, exactly how it is.
