Ina Loreta Savickienė works with ink and mineral pigments on rice paper, exploring East Asian painting traditions, including Chinese gongbi and xieyi, as well as Japanese sumi-e and nihonga.

While working across different cultural traditions, the artist does not aim at stylistic imitation. Instead, she seeks a personal visual language in which painting becomes a way of experiencing time, silence, and the natural processes of change. Her work is defined by a balance between control and chance: the line remains disciplined, yet the material itself is allowed to act. This tension creates a living, shifting image, where form may appear only as a suggestion and space remains open and undefined.

Color and background play a significant role in her work, not as decorative elements but as atmospheric space. Mineral pigments are layered so that color functions like light, mist, or air. The background is never neutral — it envelops the motif, giving it depth and mood. Light is not depicted directly, but emerges through tonal intensity, transitions, and the relationship with empty space.

The artist paints natural motifs—trees, landscapes, plants, courtyards, and gardens—interpreting them through the aesthetics of East Asian painting. Where Eastern artistic philosophy meets the experience of the Baltic landscape, familiar images acquire a new, contemplative resonance, inviting the viewer to pause and experience moments of stillness and harmony.

Ina Loreta Savickienė has held the official status of an artist since 2020. She has organized over 10 solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad.

About this artwork+

This painting, "Oriental Park" by Ina Loreta Savickienė, shows a tranquil landscape. It’s shaped like a leaf, which is creative. The scene includes a cluster of curvy, dark green trees. Their dense foliage hangs over a small, serene pavilion and footpaths. Rocks and a little pond add natural elements. The backdrop hints at rolling hills. The style mixes simple and more intricate details. There's a sense of depth and calmness. Savickienė uses gentle shades, mostly green and brown, which adds to the serene vibe. The leaf outline makes this artwork unique. It’s like viewing a secret garden through a keyhole. Delightful and peaceful!
