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 presents a view as seen through an airplane window, evoking the feeling of gazing out while high above the clouds. The scene is dominated by a vast, open sky characterized by soft, sweeping brushstrokes suggesting gentle, undulating clouds. These ethereal cloud forms blend seamlessly into a sublime gradient of colors, from a rich, deep blue at the bottom, signaling either the distant earth or a dense lower layer of the atmosphere, rising into lighter blues and then into a warm, comforting orange and pale yellow at the horizon. This transition of colors captures a serene and perhaps sunset or sunrise moment, filled with calm and quiet beauty, encapsulated within the oval shape of the canvas, which mimics the airplane window. The overall effect is peaceful and reflective, inviting the viewer to feel suspended in the moment, high above the world's troubles and complexities.
