Daiva Karaliūtė(123)

All artworks

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+

This painting, "Winter Study" by Daiva Karaliūtė, shows a snowy landscape at dusk. There are bare trees in the foreground. Their branches spread out like fingers. The background glows with a mix of orange, yellow, and dark blue colors. It feels like the sun has just set. The snow covering the ground has shades of blue and white, reflecting the sky's colors. Karaliūtė uses thick paint strokes, adding texture. The style is a bit impressionistic. She's not focusing on detailed realism. Instead, she captures the mood of winter beautifully. The frame around the painting is golden with a textured finish, which complements the artwork’s serene and chilly feel. This piece is quiet and still, almost making you feel the cold.
