All artworks

Twenty-five years ago, artist Aurelija Filipauskytė embarked on her creative path with a debut solo exhibition. Since then, she has steadily refined her artistry and established a notable presence in Lithuania’s art scene. From the outset, Filipauskytė has displayed a commitment to her work, consistently bringing both innovation and dedication to her artistic endeavors.

Over the course of her career, Aurelija Filipauskytė has presented 31 solo exhibitions and taken part in more than 30 group exhibitions in cities throughout Lithuania. This impressive exhibition history underscores both her active participation in the art world and her determination to present her evolving artistic vision to a broad audience.

While initially gaining acclaim for her portraits, Filipauskytė eventually turned her attention to illustration. Her illustrative pieces, once seen chiefly on postcards and in children’s books, began to expand into larger formats. These works are now represented in public venues, gallery spaces, and private collections. As an accomplished artist, Filipauskytė remains committed to genuine self-expression while maintaining an ongoing dialogue with her viewers. Her careful observation of people and situations continues to shape the narrative element of her art.

In recent years, Filipauskytė’s canvases have drawn audiences into surreal, dreamlike worlds, where she merges aspects of botany, animals, and humanity into imaginative forms. Visitors to the gallery are encouraged to accompany her on this unique adventure, experiencing the magical blending of reality and fantasy that defines her latest creations.

About this artwork+

In the painting "Second Breath" by Aurelija Filipauskytė, a face gently emerges from an abundance of large, lush green leaves. The leaves, with their rich shades ranging from deep to vibrant greens, envelop the figure, cradling the face at the center. The individual's features are softly defined, with calm, closed eyes and full, slightly parted lips suggesting a serene, maybe introspective moment. The person appears almost as if they are growing from or retreating into this natural embrace, evoking a feeling of rejuvenation or a deep connection to nature. The overall ambiance of the painting is tranquil and somewhat mysterious, inviting the viewer to consider themes of growth, renewal, and the intimate relationship between humans and the natural world.
