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+
The painting depicts a vibrant and abstract scene composed of a myriad of colors mingling across the canvas. Dominated by shades of brown, red, and dark green, which could evoke the feeling of peering through a thicket of dense, shadowy creepers or a mysterious forest. Interspersed among these darker tones are splashes of brighter colors—yellows, pinks, and pale blues—that seem to suggest light filtering through or hidden elements within the thicket. The colors and forms swirl together without a clear delineation of objects, suggesting movement and an almost ethereal quality. Some elements resemble drips or vertical lines that could be interpreted as rain, cascading down amidst the colors, or perhaps the vines and tendrils of the creepers themselves. The overall impact is one of depth and texture, pulling the viewer’s eye across and into the painting, inviting them to make their own interpretations of what lies 'Through the Creepers'.
