As a teenager, the artist Algis Krisčiūnas also thought about the path of the priest.True, now he is glad that he did not choose him - he does not believe in the human soul, the existence of God.The man openly considers that death is the only possible human destiny that he must believe in.But it is not a sad ending: as the interviewer states, the realization that you will die someday brings with it many other goals that you want to fulfill while living here and now.The artist does not hide, although he does not believe in the existence of the human soul and God, he is afraid of death.According to him, this is our main fear, which colors life in different colors and encourages us to live."The fear of death paints the whole life in the most beautiful colors, because you understand that until then you have to experience everything, make the most of everything, you just have to live, and not vegetate gray and think: this day was just fine.You have to make her cool.You have to live to the fullest.When you realize that you are going to die, you realize that you have to live.Our life line from birth to death is a kind of segment.Then I try to imagine where in the section I would place the point today.I know I would put the point well past the middle because I am 54 years old.So the realization that the road is smaller than it was, the short part of the section invites me to experience even more", - A. Krisčiūnas.True, the artist's paintings also contain a certain message.The interviewer says that it is like an open diary."My paintings are like a part of my diary.I write part of it with words, and I draw part of it with pictures to express myself.I am talking about what excites me, what is close to me, sensitive.It's interesting that when I draw a picture, I put certain thoughts, ideas, and then the picture hangs, people come and I listen to what they say.Most of the time they see much deeper and more than I put together.It makes me very happy that every person who approaches the painting discovers its own story", the artist assures.A. Krisčiūnas is open, he looks at himself very self-critically and with irony."If I were to take myself seriously, I would say that this guy will not go far," assures the artist.- I don't do anything well, I don't do anything perfectly.It is nonsense to expect a person to be perfect, to be a demigod.My God, Zeus had sins too, and he wasn't perfect.And what do you expect from a man?And when you look at yourself with light humor, with irony, then you don't take yourself too seriously, you don't raise the bar for yourself," says A. Krisčiūnas.The interviewer is convinced that when a person's brain shuts down, so does his personality.He explains that it is not necessary to believe that someone gave him this life."Life was given to me as a gift.Why does it have to be someone who gave it?Why do we think that someone gave it?And what was before the universe?There was nothing.Because time also appeared at the same time as the universe.It is impossible for us ordinary people to understand what nothing is.Therefore, I would think that it is equally difficult to find that I was given that gift to live.People are most often attributed to some kind of deities, higher forces, and why not attribute it to chance, chaos?", the artist thinks.It is true, although today the man says that he is no longer a believer, even as a teenager he thought about becoming a priest.Now he's glad he didn't choose him."When I was a teenager after school, I might even have wanted to be a priest at one point, but I had too many doubts.I thought that I have no vocation, and if by chance one day I become a priest and realize that I no longer believe, I will not be able to live like this.It seemed to me that this is a very good audience to tell people something important, to change their destinies, to turn them to good.Now I think I have an audience outside of the church.I would think that this specialty is very risky.It is good if you have so much strength and faith.But if you have less, you can make a big mistake and mislead other people.Fortunately, I didn't take this step that I wasn't sure about," says artist A. Krisčiūnas.More - September 21.in the recording of the show "Confessions".
