Julija Kugytė(64)

All artworks

My name is Julija Kugytė. I was born and raised in Crimea within an ethnic Lithuanian family. The vivid colours and unique landscapes of my childhood—the blue sea, endless steppes, and rugged mountains—have deeply influenced my artistic perspective. These natural elements continue to inspire my artwork, shaping both the moods and the palettes I select for my paintings.

After relocating to Lithuania, I embarked on studies in fashion design. During my university years, I dedicated myself to painting fashion illustrations, creating portraits, and working on various clothing design projects. This education not only refined my technical abilities, but also inspired me to experiment with daring combinations of colours and textures throughout my artistic journey.

In recent times, I have become passionate about abstract painting. The act of abstraction brings me endless discovery; every painting presents a unique journey and a profound sense of freedom. By experimenting with a range of materials and tools, I am able to explore the interplay of colour harmonies, movement, and rhythm, pushing my imagination in surprising new directions.

I only consider a painting finished when it begins to suggest a narrative or story within its shapes. I warmly invite viewers to engage with my paintings and form their own interpretations, discovering meaning in the abstract patterns and vivid tones I present. My hope is that my artwork encourages others to see the beauty and storytelling potential found in colour and composition.

About this artwork+

This painting unfolds in a symphony of layered tones, resembling a hazy, early morning landscape veiled in mist. The top section bathes in a soft white gradient that subtly merges into a gentle green, evoking the first light of dawn caressing the sky. As the eye moves downward, this green deepens into a richer, murkier hue, suggesting the dense, damp air of pre-dawn. Toward the bottom, the green shifts into a darker, shadowy segment, possibly alluding to the silhouette of the distant land or heavy, low-lying clouds. The overall effect is atmospheric and moodily evocative, capturing that serene yet ephemeral moment just before the sun fully rises.
