THE CURSED ONE

This <<<<< painting is THE CURSED ONE, oil on canvas, 110x130cm, 2010


This painting has something.
I started calling it THE CURSED ONE, after a couple of events. 
First time during an exhibition it somehow managed to get a tag. 
For a second attack it appeared under a shower of rust from some old radiator.

This case is more complicated: 


WHILE YOU'RE GONE FOR 15 MINUTES

          While You're gone for 15 minutes, oil on canvas, 2007

It's an old story.. but it's MY story!!!

And That is NOT me standing in front of MY painting!!!
In 2007 This photo was published in a daily newspaper "15min".  On the front page!! 
Without any permission. .
It was a quite unexpected thing for a morning.  Mm there you can see a journalist pretending to paint
(Notice HOW she handles the brush) and in the other hand she has a cigarette.
Though for me personally is not comfortable to paint with the right hand and to smoke with the left hand at once... never mind.

Here is a link http://www.scribd.com/doc/14938772/15min-Vilnius-20071129 for the article, but I guess It hasn't been updated for a while (from 2007), so it has some font bugs, etc. 
 I made this image from the PDF file i have in my computer from earlier. 

The Title says:
"Auditorium (Studio) for students works as a smoking area" 

And under the image it says:
"Students smoke right at the easel instead of going outside, as they say it helps with creativity and inspiration". 
Well this is pretty creepy anyway. While I was gone for a smoke outside.. :..
