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 abstract composition with a mélange of warm and earthy tones such as beige, browns, and creams, interspersed with highlights of pink and touches of deep violet and black. At the center, the imagery suggests a swirling, dynamic movement, evoked through the use of winding, golden-yellow lines and circular shapes that creates a sense of whirling wind or a sandstorm. Two prominent circular forms dominate, one hollowed out with a cluster of delicate, eye-like motifs within it, suggesting a mystical or watchful presence. These central elements appear slightly off-center, surrounded by what might be interpreted as elongated figures and vertical streaks that resemble streaming rain or cascading elements, further emphasizing a feel of natural forces in motion. The painting's texture is rich, with visible strokes, drips, and layers of paint, contributing to the overall impression of depth and dynamic motion.
