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 captures a dramatic and moody landscape under the brewing tension of a summer storm. A vast, open field, painted in lush, vibrant shades of green, stretches out towards a distant horizon. The field appears windswept and alive, its grasses bending and swirling under the force of the impending tempest. Above, the sky is a tumultuous canopy of dark, brooding clouds rolling in thick folds. These clouds, heavy and ominous, blend shades of deep blue and grey, with subtle hints of warmer tones that suggest the hidden presence of a low, obscured sun. The intense contrast between the vibrant green of the field and the oppressive darkness of the sky evokes a feeling of awe and impending change, capturing the charged atmosphere just before a storm breaks.
