Artwork in the room
Daiva Staškevičienė, born in 1968 in Vilnius, is a Lithuanian artist known for her detailed and imaginative work.
Daiva Staškevičienė’s artistic journey began in childhood and later continued through formal studies, culminating in a Master’s degree in Graphic Art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Having studied under the prominent Lithuanian graphic artist Leonas Lagauskas, her work is grounded in precision, structure, and strong composition.
Her graphic work is highly detailed, yet it goes beyond technical skill. Carefully constructed scenes open into a symbolic, subtly surreal world, where elements drawn from imagination, nature, and folklore emerge gradually. Each work reveals new layers over time.
Alongside printmaking, she has developed a strong painting practice. Working in oil, Staškevičienė employs the glazing technique, building her images through thin, translucent layers to create a rich sense of materiality. Her figures—faces that do not represent specific individuals—feel timeless and slightly mythical. Set against nearly flat, undefined backgrounds, they seem to float between surface and space.
Her work connects to the ideas of André Breton, who described surrealism as a meeting point between dream and reality. In her work, this connection appears gently, creating images that feel both familiar and subtly uncanny.
Graphic works are produced in limited editions, while paintings are unique pieces, making them especially valued by collectors.

About this artwork+
The painting depicts a whimsical village scene rich with intricate details and a pastel, almost dreamlike color palette. Various elements seem to float and blend seamlessly into each other, creating a tapestry-like effect. At the center, there is a quaint house adorned with numerous decorations and surrounded by various objects and vehicles that blend modern elements with a rustic charm. Trees with intricate and delicate branches suggest different seasons through varied colors and foliage, some resembling blossoms while others bear autumnal hues. There are also various characters and animals interspersed throughout the scene, adding a dynamic and lively touch to the static elements. The characters are depicted engaging in daily activities, contributing to the quaint and bustling village atmosphere. Various whimsical forms of transportation, including bicycles and unicycles, hint at a gentle, slow-paced life. Unique spherical and swirling motifs recur throughout the painting, perhaps symbolic or merely decorative, adding to the overall fantastical feel of the artwork. The texture and detail suggest a fusion of nature with human creation, where every object and figure intermingles harmoniously within the dreamy landscape.
