Painting in the room
Živilė Vaičiukynienė is a contemporary Lithuanian artist and painter based in Kaunas and Prienai, an officially recognized artist, a creator of original jewellery, and a curator of international art projects. She has actively participated in exhibitions and plein-air painting events since 2007. Her unique, one-of-a-kind works have found their way into private collections across Europe, including Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Spain, as well as the Republic of South Africa.
In the artist’s oil and acrylic paintings, contemporary interpretations of nature become metaphors that open up a space for reflecting on the human inner world. Mystery is at the heart of her artistic practice. She never reveals everything entirely, leaving room for the viewer’s intuition. This sense of freedom and lightness is enhanced by her fluid, expressive brushwork, poetic imagery, and subtle interplay of light.
The expressive, raised textures on her canvases lend the works a tactile depth, transforming the magical world she creates into more than a visual focal point within an interior: it becomes a space for tranquillity and contemplation. Her aim is not to reproduce visible reality, but to bring light, a quiet dialogue, and spiritual harmony into the surrounding environment.

About this artwork+
This painting is a vibrant mix of colors and flowing shapes. Bright yellows, dark blacks, and pops of orange and red blend together. It looks like a dance of light and shadow. Some areas remind you of sunlight filtering through leaves. The style is abstract. There are no clear forms, just the movement of colors and the play of light and dark. It's like looking at a dream or a piece of music captured in color. Živilė Vaičiukynienė uses fluid lines and contrasting colors masterfully. The painting feels alive, almost as if it's whispering to the viewer. It's easy to see why this series is called "Whispering Spring." It has a fresh, lively feeling to it.
