She characterizes her work as a dynamic dance of bold brushstrokes and vibrant colours, capturing both movement and emotion on every canvas. Through this expressive style, she enables viewers to connect emotionally with her pieces, as though experiencing a narrative or feeling brought to life through paint.
Her enduring interest in abstract painting stems from its constantly evolving nature. Giedrė believes that every viewing of a painting unveils something different—new emotions and images that might have previously gone unnoticed. By embracing abstraction, she seeks to stimulate the viewer’s imagination and inspire creativity, making her art an engaging encounter.
For Giedrė, freedom is at the core of her artistic process. She is especially inspired by working on a large scale, which allows her to express emotions freely and uninhibitedly on the canvas. Her preferred mediums are acrylics and oils, and she frequently utilizes unconventional tools sourced from building supply stores or kitchen cupboards, resulting in distinctive textures in her artwork. With the use of thick applications of paint, her works often feature surfaces that are highly tactile and inviting to the touch.
Her paintings are notable for their vivid and pure colours, which make them visually compelling and brimming with vitality. They are intended for adventurous art enthusiasts—individuals who appreciate daring, imaginative, and emotionally rich artworks that invite exploration time and again.
About this artwork+
The painting features an exuberant blend of vibrant colors, creating a visual representation of a citrus breeze. Swirls and splashes of yellow dominate the canvas, suggesting the refreshing zest and tang of citrus fruits. Hues of blue and violet intersperse throughout, adding a cool contrast that might evoke the sensation of a crisp breeze on a warm day. Bold strokes of red and softer touches of pink bring warmth and depth, while speckles and dashes of white add an element of energy, mimicking the spray from a freshly squeezed citrus fruit. The composition is lively and dynamic, full of movement, almost as if the painting itself is inhaling and exhaling the sweet, zesty air.
