The group of paintings was dedicated to the Paparčiu St. Joseph Children Orphanage home, to mark the tenth anniversary of their opening.. The painting group has been exhibited 14 times in sacred, exhibition and other non-exhibition public spaces. The Book ‘Seven Feelings according to the Book of Job’ was published in 2011. Based on the painting series, it also includes extracts from the Book of Job in French and Lithuanian.
‘With the seven works of abstract painting, I have attempted to depict the feelings experienced on the way to forgiveness and reconciliation; when we feel undeservedly hurt and we are unable to understand neither the cause, nor the meaning of our pain; when we feel powerless and abandoned like children, who have lost the love of their parents. The heart of the child is torn by overwhelming and incomprehensible anguish; when the closest people hurt and reject them. Only as adults can we understand our injured hearts and need for the healing power of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.’
The Group of paintings is for sale only all together. Price – 5000 EUR. It also could be ordered prints of separate works and the Book of the Group. Please contact birute.nomeda@gmail.com or http://www.saatchiart.com/account/artworks/337574
