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+
The painting displays a diptych with each panel portraying a mix of earthy tones and vivid aqua blue. The upper panel shows swirls of these colors merging together, creating an abstract landscape that evokes the feeling of a dynamic, yet serene earthly scene. Distinct areas of aqua blue seem to represent water bodies, contrasting with the sandy browns and deep grays that might depict landmasses or muddy fields. The lower panel resembles the upper one in color and composition but features a more chaotic, rough texture. The aqua blue appears more as splattered patches against the predominant browns and grays, suggesting a turbulent variation of the scene above, perhaps an underwater or deeper terrain perspective. Both panels together suggest a thematic exploration of natural elements and their abstract representation, evoking a sense of creation or regenesis.
