Edvilė Lukšytė describes herself as an art historian turned artist, uniting theoretical knowledge of art with hands-on experience. This combination shapes both her creative approach and the subjects she chooses to examine in her work.
In Lukšytė’s art, animals are a recurring focus. She depicts them in a manner that is at once primitive and realistic, allowing the individuality of each animal to come through. Her paintings stand out for their deep, rich color schemes, which contribute to a unique atmosphere and mood.
Stylistic exploration plays a significant role in Lukšytė’s artistic process. She views her paintings not merely as static images, but as visual statements that can connect with viewers and exist independently of her initial intentions.
Lukšytė’s works have received international attention, having been exhibited in esteemed venues such as Marziart Gallery in Hamburg, Weserhalle Gallery in Berlin, and Maxò Gallery in Barcelona. These exhibitions have enabled her art to reach and engage varied audiences throughout Europe.
About this artwork+
The painting depicts two faces close together, distinguished by their strikingly vibrant and contrasting colors. The face on the left is painted in various shades of green with a calm, poised expression, her eyes directed slightly upwards. Her hand, adorned with intricate lace gloves, touches her cheek, adding a sense of delicacy to her demeanor. The face on the right is rendered in darker, muted tones with splashes of green and black, looking directly at the viewer with a piercing gaze. This face has a somber expression and is crowned with broad, leaf-like shapes in black and green, suggesting a form of regal or ceremonial headwear. The background is a robust, fiery red that enhances the intensity and emotional depth of the scene.
