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+
This whimsical painting features a fantastical floating structure on a body of water, representing a stylized version of a Venetian house. The architectural design is intricate and ornate, filled with delicate details and embellishments. The house resembles a traditional Venetian building with its familiar windows, balcony, and textural elements, yet it dramatically morphs into a bird-like form at the top—a fantastical hat-like roof with a bird's head and beak, echoing the ornate, elongated style typical of Venetian masks. The water beneath the house shimmers with a stylized, wavy pattern, hinting at the rippling canals of Venice. Surrounding the floating building are two whimsical birds, soaring softly around it, adorned similarly in ornate, decorative patterns that integrate seamlessly with the overall fantastical theme. The color palette is subdued, relying mostly on greys and blues with hints of red, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the scene.
