About
On July 21st the year of 1984, the magic stars in the sky said: “Crazy girl you’re late, open your eyes and say buenos Diaz to this wonderful world!” , and so I did. I opened my eyes right after a clap on my baby but, introduced myself as Inga Guzyte and took off into this crazy little world, Lithuania. Two years after me, my brother Linas followed, who knew he would become a carpenter later on. The time ran faster, I kept on discovering the world as I was playing games with my cousins, saving potatoes from potato bugs and sitting on big stacks of hey. Despite the careless childhood 11 years later Lithuania got too small and my little family of one brother and a single mother moved to a new and bigger/crazier world with lots of unknown words. We moved to Germany. I felt quite intimidated and shy in this big world, but exciting things kept happening to me. Wooden machines with wheels, looked like skateboards to me, were making the every day life more and more fun. Lots of unsaid words were unleashed on white paper taking the form of little funny monsters. And so the world kept spinning, the little funny monster characters kept following me,playing with me even after my High School graduation. In the year of 2005, they all were close friends and their universe kept on growing. Continuing on this incredible journey, I took the exit “Santa Barbara California” shortly after my graduation, because the stars in the sky said so. Cultural explosion! I was excited meeting new and different people in California, making great friendship for life. As my ability to express my experience in words slowly developed my ability to express myself in artistic ways took big leaps at the Santa Barbara City College. I graduated with honors and awards in the Arts I left SBCC in 2010 with an AA in Art Studio. My work became the ultimate expression of my life journey, it captures the great moments but also the frustration. It shows sarcasm, a deep connection of art and my passion for skateboarding. My work represents the infinite cycle of life and death. I give birth to these crazy morphic characters out of used and forgotten skateboard, giving them a new life. It is a rebirth. Infused with intense personality traits ( with a personal touch of mine) they grow their own soul. Every new character I create manifest it’s own individual life form. They like to be superheroes with tons of magic powers in a world where all unusual things seem possible. Hang them to your wall and see them take over the space, I gave birth to them now let your imagination run free to feed their universe for them to grow bigger and stronger.
