A self-taught painter has been drawing and painting since childhood. Daiva now uses a variety of techniques in her work - oil paints, acrylics, pastels, crayons, colored pencils, likes to paint different objects and in different styles, to experiment, because she says that otherwise it would be boring, and she is not afraid of new challenges.
The artist is currently obsessed with mysticism, the mysteries of man and the universe, and the afterlife. As the author says, we do not have all the answers. It is these unanswered questions that interest her. Whether the work is figurative or abstract, the viewer is left with the impression of fog, of a mysterious light penetrating through it, as if our eyes could deceive us. The artist often uses a palette of darker colours, as if to emphasise that in a sense we are in the dark ourselves, and that we can only perceive certain things very vaguely.
Most of the paintings created over the last few years have found their homes and have travelled not only to various Lithuanian cities, but also abroad (France, Germany, Holland).

About this artwork+
In Daiva Karaliūtė’s painting "Cloud Mountains," the sky dominates the scene with powerful, sweeping clouds. The colors transition from dark stormy grays at the top to glowing golds and yellows below. It looks like sunset or an impending storm. The land below is barely visible, suggesting a distant horizon or a reflection in water, touched by the same gold hues of the sky. The painter uses a dramatic and expressive style. Brushstrokes are bold and visible. This adds a sense of movement and emotion to the clouds. The contrast between the dark clouds and bright horizon creates a dynamic effect, as if nature itself is alive with energy. Daiva Karaliūtė has skillfully captured the awe-inspiring power and sublime beauty of the natural world in this piece. The use of color and texture suggests both turbulence and tranquility in nature.
