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 "Foggy Sunset" by Daiva Karaliūtė captures a tranquil, moody scene. At the top, heavy grey clouds fill the sky. Below them, there's a fiery stripe of orange and red, marking the sunset. This bright horizon reflects in the water below, creating a mirror image. The water is calm, dark, and expansive. It stretches across the bottom half of the painting, hinting at a vast lake or river. The horizon is lined with faint, dark silhouettes of trees, adding depth to the scene. Daiva Karaliūtė uses a muted palette dominated by greys and blues, with the exception of the vibrant sunset. Her style blends realism with a touch of the abstract, especially visible in the thick, expressive brush strokes that form the clouds and water. This style evokes a sense of peace and a bit of mystery, typical of foggy landscapes. The overall effect is serene yet dramatic, inviting viewers to pause and soak in the quiet beauty of the moment.
