Artist Augustė Daškevičiūtė was born in 1992 in Kaunas. She has been actively creating since 2020, participating in painting plein airs and group exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad.
“Painting is the transformation of emotions into colors, movements, gestures, and forms. In abstraction, I sometimes long for something more tangible, recognizable, and grounding. Most often - a puddle or a lake, which reflect the multilayered sensitivities of existence. For me, painting is a constant search. It helps me to see, to understand, to get lost in discoveries, and then to realize once again that I know nothing.” the artist shares.
About this artwork+
The painting presents an abstract view dominated by a medley of rich, bold colors that blend into each other in a dreamlike fashion. Shades of deep purple and navy blue form a backdrop reminiscent of a dense, mystic forest at twilight. Against this nocturnal palette, pops of rust, white, red, and a hint of green slice through the canvas, suggesting elements of a forest in autumn. The forms are fluid and organic, intertwining in a way that evokes the movement of nature, like leaves rustling in a gentle breeze. While no literal squirrel is discernible, a sense of its presence is suggested by the playful and whimsical energy of the brushstrokes. The overall impression is of a forest scene captured not through realism but through the emotional and dynamic interplay of color and form.
