Agnė Sakevičiūtė is a Lithuanian artist, MO Museum educator and mindfulness teacher, currently studying Gestalt psychotherapy. Her practice is rooted in emotion and memory, turning painting into a dialogue with the inner world.
Her works are instantly recognisable through a vivid, playful, childlike aesthetic: bold colours, thick outlines, intentionally naïve forms and symbolic characters. Agnė uses a visual language that appears simple and light, yet carries deep emotional intensity.
Many paintings unfold as small narratives shaped by the “inner child” — fragments of memories, unspoken feelings and dreamlike figures. Humour often lives beside vulnerability: like a child’s drawing, but filled with adult experience.
Psychology is not an external reference in her work — it is part of the method. The inner child becomes a way to access authenticity, recognise inner states and give them form. Her paintings invite the viewer into relationship: not only to see, but to remember, to feel, and to meet oneself.
About this artwork+
This painting features a stylized, yellow dog against a striking red background. The dog is covered in playful, short brush strokes of blue and green, giving it a textured and lively appearance. Above the dog, there's a speech bubble shaped like a bone, but it’s empty. This might suggest the dog's thoughts or desires. Agnė Sakevičiūtė’s style here is simple and vibrant. She uses bold colors and clear forms. This approach can make her artwork feel joyful and accessible, much like the innocence of a child's perspective. The title, "The Inner Child Speaks. Monday," might be hinting at the beginning of new, optimistic thoughts as a new week starts. Agnė’s work tends to evoke a sense of playfulness and emotional expression, perfectly captured in this piece.
