Tadas Zaicikas (1974) was born in Lithuania where he attended an art school in grade school; awarded master's degree by the Kaunas Technology University. Since 2013, he lives and works between Canada and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (France). The intensely personal introspective journey of life, from the ever-changing complexities of love, loss, birth and death have inspired and encouraged him to become a professional artist. Most of his oeuvre focuses on the abstract art but he also enjoys impressionism and mixed media works. He experiments with various styles and techniques to create something that mixed spiritual and physical on canvas. He works by continuously building up and tearing down, layer upon layer, adding and subtracting; an instinctive dance between the conscious and the unconscious until the emotion is expressed. His bold palette knife work and use of intense colours allow to interpret subject to express and convey to the viewer the emotional essence evoking strong emotional responses. He uses primarily oils and encaustics to create thickly layered canvases with emotive bursts of color creating a world where imagination and reality come together to evoke a feeling. He is a member of IAA AIAP- CARFAC; La Maison Des Artistes (France); Visual Arts Alberta (Canada); Federation of Canadian artist; CG Associates (Manchester, UK).
