Hermandrowning is multidisciplinary artist based in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The point of attention in creative process is the quest for new forms and a deformation of existent ones with an aim to render contemporary subject’s search of identity.
“I see mutating relation between man and his environment into a process of trade of abstractions and symbols, while the details of reality lying beyond become rejected, vanishing. Plot is constructed by using primitivistic shapes to describe mundane, sometimes surreal acts. Subject are transparent and some surroundings are missing, visible body parts become distorted, storylines become magical.”

From 2020 granted status of art creator by Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania
