Artwork in the room
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+
The painting depicts a dramatic skyscape filled with swirling, tumultuous clouds that dominate the scene. These clouds, rendered in various shades of gray and white, convey a sense of movement and depth, suggesting the fleeting, morphing nature of clouds caught in a dynamic weather pattern. Glimpses of blue sky peek through the breaks in the clouds, adding contrast and relief to the otherwise brooding palette. Below, a narrow strip of golden yellow —perhaps a field or grassland— provides a stark, bright base to the scene. This splash of color amidst the gray introduces a linear perspective, leading the viewer’s eye and adding a hint of serene light to the composition. The overall effect is one of nature’s dual capacity for both turmoil and tranquility.
