Giedrė Balčiūnaitė creates deeply personal art, with each painting serving as a reflection of herself. 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+
In this vibrant painting, fluid and dynamic strokes of pinks, yellows, purples, and whites blend in a dream-like reverie, suggesting an abstract, ethereal landscape. The canvas is alive with movement, captured in the flowing forms that evoke cascading water or perhaps the flitting curtains of a mystical stage. Two whimsical bird figures provide focal points. One bird, primarily in white with accents of pink, possesses an elongated plume that stretches in elegant arcs, while the other, with a more playful expression, carries lighter green hues and a similarly spirited design. Speckles of black add a sense of depth and detail, while various circles and patterned elements throughout the painting hint at unseen flora or the soft glow of distant lights. These fantastical creatures appear engaged in a silent dialogue, enhancing the otherworldly ambiance of the scene.
