Artist Statement

I talk to people through my photos.
I tell my stories through my lens.
Photography is about curiosity.
It is a desire for knowledge.
It is a constant longing for the unknown and undiscovered.
It is a connection to a galaxy of humans who have the same, singular relation - art.

Artist Bio

Laimis Urbonas is a photographer who’s enjoying life and work in the city that has been known by many nicknames, but is best recognized as the Windy City, also known as Chicago.

As an artist, Laimis loves to capture special moments in life and distribute those moments to others. These images would capture his clients’ hearts forever. He has an immense appreciation of travel. Laimis’s favorite creations reflects his explorations of new, fascinating places around the world.

He enjoys the outdoors. Laimis is an avid hiker and a skier. He loves a good adventure. Yet, according to Laimis, staying in a small hotel or spending time in a quaint restaurant might bring most unexpected surprises and unforgettable moments.

Laimis is known for surrounding himself with turmoil and adventure. But if you ask him what he values the most, he’ll admit how much he values a quiet time to work on his photography. Being an artist means working alone, he says.

The idea of travel and discovery has been particularly important to Laimis. In his travels, Laimis has visited a couple of continents such as Europe and Asia, as well as many beautiful places in North America. Photography is the way Laimis connects himself to the world. It is a journey of constant explorations and encounters. He will argue the art of photography is not just having a natural eye behind the camera or picking the right angle, or getting exposure right. It is about communicating one’s creative and distinctive vision of the world. It is about capturing a unique image without removing its identity.
