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 captures a serene and dreamlike arrangement of linden flowers and leaves, depicted in soft watercolors. The palette is dominated by delicate shades of lavender and soft greens, giving the composition a gentle and ethereal feel. The flowers are shown in various stages of bloom, with some fully open and others just beginning to unfurl. Light seems to dance across the petals and leaves, creating a luminous effect that enhances the painting's tranquil and soothing atmosphere. The brushwork is fluid, with a blend of defined lines and more blurred edges that suggest a breezy day in a meadow, where flowers sway gracefully with the wind. The overall impression is one of peaceful natural beauty, inviting the viewer into a meditative state as if walking through a lush, fragrant garden.
