Led by her innermost impulses, she creates visual arrangements that convey elements of magical realism, inviting viewers to delve into the implied stories within each work.
There is often an enigmatic, sometimes subtly unsettling tone that permeates Jolanta's art. She finds herself especially fascinated by motifs like ancient shamans, graveyards, timeworn parks, and the crumbling traces left behind by humans. Through these themes, she conveys the notion that humankind is not truly in command of the world but is simply a minor part of an immense and untamable natural system.
Her paintings are intended to highlight that existence encompasses more than what appears on the surface. Jolanta Vitkutė’s art underscores the belief that natural forces elude our total grasp and control, encouraging viewers to contemplate the hidden mysteries that shape the world around us.
