Artwork 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 diptych features two panels rich in abstract forms and a subtle, dreamlike quality. The left panel is dominated by cool hues of blue and green, interspersed with patches of white and gray that suggest a mist-shrouded landscape or a series of undefined, softly merging shapes that could be floral or watery in essence. The overall effect is one of tranquility and gentle undulation, as if observing a scene veiled by early morning fog or reflected in a still pond. The right panel shifts slightly in mood through the use of darker blues and hints of orange, adding a sense of depth and warmth. A clear, linear element adorned with small, golden orbs stretches diagonally, possibly representing a vine or a celestial map with glowing points that could be stars or distant lights. This line acts as a visual connector tying the ambiguous forms together, leading the viewer’s eye across the canvas in a gentle arc. The interaction of light and shadow, along with the strategic placement of the orbs, imparts a mystical or cosmic quality, evoking a night sky or an otherworldly realm. Together, the panels of the diptych invite contemplation and open-ended interpretation, resonating with themes of nature, introspection, and the enigmatic beauty of the universe.
