All artworks

Alma Karalevičienė, a Lithuanian artist, holds a degree in costume design. Her artistic development has been molded by formal education as well as the guidance of various painting instructors. In recent years, she has devoted herself to painting with impressive consistency and intensity, working primarily in acrylic. Karalevičienė's works are regularly presented in group exhibitions across Lithuania, reflecting her expanding role within the contemporary art world.

The range of her artistic interests is considerable, as reflected in her selection of subjects. She often finds inspiration in the element of water, the gracefulness of ballerinas, and the affectionate temperament of pets. Alongside these representational motifs, abstraction also captivates her, offering space for exploration of her personal creative vision. This eclecticism enriches her body of work with energy and depth.

At the heart of Karalevičienė’s approach lie freedom and spontaneity. She places high value on expressive brushstrokes and reveals a pronounced inclination towards abstraction. Yet, drawing retains a presence in many of her works—sometimes subtly—providing touches of realism amid expressive vigor. This dynamic between abstract and representational forms produces paintings that are simultaneously vibrant and accessible.

Alma Karalevičienė is known for her explorations with textures, washes, and distinctive patterns. She expertly harmonizes bold color palettes with a lightness that preserves the freshness and contemporary feel of her pieces. Her creations are intended to enhance modern interiors, making them sought after both for their artistic value and decorative charm. Through these attributes, she contributes a distinctively modern perspective to Lithuanian art.

About this artwork+

The painting depicts an ethereal scene characterized by broad strokes of muted taupe, dusty rose, and various shades of blue. Central to the canvas, a lone dark horse runs across what appears to be a stretch of water, represented in rich, vibrant blue tones that stand out against the softer background. The horse's silhouette is dynamic, conveying motion and freedom. The interplay of colors and textures around the horse suggests a landscape that is both dreamlike and abstract. Abstract patterns and splashes of white and pale blue mimic the splashing of water and perhaps falling snow, adding to the dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere of the piece.
