Marius Narbutaitis

Metal Artist

My artistry in metal reflects many different styles, ranging from traditional Lithuanian folk art to free standing abstract forms. My works are crafted from new or recycled materials and may include found objects that blend with the theme of the creation. I define my use of strategic bends, textures and graceful curves, as a way of transforming rigid cold drawn metal into warm fluid-like forms that become aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Unlike a painter, my canvas is an unoccupied space where metal in a combination of dimension, shadows and textures replace brush strokes.

“Working with metal brings out many challenges due to its nature to fight back. The only way to control it is with the strength of ones own mind and body.”
