“The world is based on people who are in the place they are born to be in. It is then not so important what their specialty is and what they do in life – they create positive things,” says painter Saulius Kruopis.
The artist has been interested in Eastern wisdom since his youth. He is vegetarian but applies Eastern philosophy to himself creatively, not dogmatically. “That literal adherence to advice causes tension, so only wisdom which is creatively tailored brings success,” Saulius says.
He argues that it is very important for a creative person to maintain a state of "here and now" and not to judge themselves. "The artist is somehow a medium for something to come to us,” he says.
