Artwork in the room
Evelina Simanavičiūtė (DUJA) (born in 1988) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, graphics, textile, installation, and performance. In her practice, she brings together personal experience, fragments of memory, and emotional states, exploring themes of identity, connection, and the inner world.
Her work is characterized by sensitivity, a quiet visual narrative, and an intuitive creative process. She often allows materials and ideas to shape the outcome, resulting in pieces that convey a natural sense of fragility, stillness, and recognizable human experience - inviting the viewer to pause and look more closely.

About this artwork+
In Evelina Simanavičiūtė's painting "Altar," you see an abstract composition. The background is a warm, earthy orange. Above, a large, white shape floats. It’s round and soft, like a cloud. Below, there are five abstract forms lined up. They resemble chairs or arches. The painting feels calm yet mysterious. The style is minimalistic. Simanavičiūtė uses soft lines and gentle colors. This creates a serene and thoughtful atmosphere. The simplicity allows for personal interpretation. Each viewer may see something different. The work balances between form and ambiguity, inviting reflection.
