Darius Martisius hails from Lithuania and is currently based in Derby, United Kingdom. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from the University of Derby in 2019. In 2024, he is set to pursue a Master of Arts in Fine Art at the School of Art, Birmingham City University.

Darius is an artist known for producing sculptures made from various materials, including wood, plaster, metal, and plastics. His works display a strange, abstract, and playful quality, often evoking themes related to surrealism and biomorphic forms.

The creative process employed by Darius begins with automatic drawing, where he approaches the canvas without preconceived ideas or plans. These initial sketches are then meticulously analyzed and refined, with lines being emphasized or erased to reveal unexpected forms and narratives.

The drawings that capture his interest serve as references for his sculptural creations. Darius’s sculptures are characterized by their unconventional and irrational figures, which convey a sense of strangeness while also fostering a magical atmosphere that allows viewers to engage with an enigmatic sense of beauty.

Through his art, Darius invites viewers into a distinctive environment, offering them the opportunity to experience something new and thought-provoking.
