our life

You see the members of art therapy club Modus Vivendi (hospital for the people with the psychiatric disorders, Klaipeda, Lithuania) in the photo on above. It was taken by press-photographer Eimantas Chachlovas. Pictures of the club were displayed in Lithuanian Parliament and had the tremendous success. The exposition was opened on 2009.04.30, yet it was not closed till now.

Made psychiatric nurse Vaida Dudiene, artists Tomas Karkalas and Renate Lusis rejoice over the success of the exposition Symphony of Color . We rejoice at opportunity to help the patients to recover from depression and to spread the beauty over their surroundings - to put a smile on their faces. We lack lots of things, yet we have what's the main indeed - that's the love, that grows as we share her with other.

purity of snow versus coloration



The need to pay the Internet fees threatened to stop this blog. The future looked dark. The lack of cash threatened to suppress joy to advertise the art therapy colors further, and it seemed that the situation was the blind-alley. Yet it couldn't be thus. "Modus Vivendi" was started with the conviction that ... there is no such thing as no chance. I still have hope to get the support from the unknown benefactor. Thank you for the help.

No to farewell















when a sheet of paper was gifted to Viktorelis, these postcards appeared. The crutch were forgotten and the felt-tip pen created a colorful tale. Wow...

The similar miracles happen each time the patients of psychiatric hospital are invited to take a brush. Just browse the archives of Modus Vivendi. Lots of awe inspiring pictures will meet you here - you will dive not into the mourning, but the wonderland... That's a miracle that repeats itself each time the patients are supplied with the art materials. Unfortunately, I must to pay the Internet fees by myself. Therefore though I'm rejoicing over the activity of Modus Vivendi club, but need to stop my activity there. While working on a voluntary basic, I sacrificed my disability pension until now, but my current financial situation doesn't allow that any more. The work for a free came to the end ... I cant continue this blog, but the archives of Modus Vivendi will remain open to all for ever. Not my consciousness but the empty wallet stops blog Modus Vivendi. The blog was kept solely on a voluntary basis until now and thus Modus Vivendi was the real miracle out of itself, but these "good times" ended. I can't keep it for a free any more. In spite of all the above, I don't refuse from my wish to share the light. I am leaving Modus Vivendi blog but it is just one of my blogs. I don't silence but welcome you to my other blog. Art Mirror was just started, but it should become my main blog soon. Art Mirror will be more personal blog, but the essence will remain the same. Because talking about the problems of the disability raise the moral problems ultimately and is the writing about the timeless values.

Welcome to Art Mirror I hope you will enjoy it too. The Entrecard widget will be put on Art Mirror as soon as I finish all needed arrangements for doing that. So I don't say farewell but till meeting my dear readers.
