Darius Martisius

Derby
Darius is originally from Lithuania. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from the University of Derby in 2019 and a Master of Arts in Fine Art from Birmingham City University in 2023.

Darius creates sculptures using wood, plaster, metal, and plastics. The artist's intriguing, abstract, and playful works evoke elements of surrealism and biomorphic forms. 

His creative process begins with automatic drawing, free of preconceived notions or planning. The sketches are carefully examined and refined by accentuating or erasing lines, leading to the emergence of fascinating, unseen forms or narratives. Selected drawings serve as references for the sculpture's creative development. 

Darius's works often exhibit an irrational quality—unconventional figures that convey a sense of strangeness while also crafting a magical atmosphere wherein one can encounter a breath of enigmatic beauty.

The artist seeks to draw the viewer into a new realm to partake in a distinctive experience.
