BIRUTE BRANDT

Without realizing the significance of it at the time, I grew up in the family of artists, surrounded by all forms of vivid inspirations.

However, I decided I’m not cut out to be an artist, when the clay sculpting class School of Art threatened to ruin my bright red newly polished nails.

In a true democratic sense, I then received my parents’ permission to drop out of Art school. Eventually i successfully completed 4 year-long fashion studies in Berlin.

Once I established my fashion line in Dubai, the fact that my fashion sketches received more appreciation than the actual clothes, came as a big surprise to me. From that moment i dived into slightly fashion infused flamboyant characters and felt free to find my self in boundless space of fantasy, surrounded by body proportion games catching surrealistic scenes, often with a dash of a delightful tongue-in-cheek humour.

I love to overact the colouful characters, play with personality and mood. My inspiration is life drama, subtlety, problems, beauty. I admire the scenario of the slightly mad or surreal stories. Body proportions in my artworks are mostly not real, it’s ironic, sexless, but it’s always aesthetic. I believe that my creative objects and figures are searching for dialogue, sometimes it makes you smile, sometimes it calms you down.

Birute has showcased her works in Germany, Dubai, Lithuania and Luxembourg.

Born in 1982 in Vilnius, Lithuania, the artist lives and works in Dubai, UAE.
