Justina Agnė Kizogian is an artist whose creative practice revolves around preserving transient feelings and moments in her paintings. For her, art serves as a means to halt time and explore experiences that might otherwise slip by, unnoticed amid the rush of everyday life. She treats each canvas as a new experiment, regarding the process of painting both as a privilege and as an opportunity to revisit and convey dreamlike states that are gradually fading from memory.
Kizogian’s artwork stands out for its spontaneity and a spirit of exploration, rather than adherence to strict planning. She deliberately avoids setting a predetermined path or outcome for her pieces, choosing instead to let them evolve naturally. This freedom allows new stories and visual surprises to emerge, so that each painting becomes a distinctive experience of discovery and improvisation.
Color holds a vital place in how she expresses herself artistically. She views painting as a lively engagement with color, giving particular attention to the emotional and sensory effects of every hue and shade. By exploring color in this dynamic way, she conveys moods and narratives that words fail to express, adding extra layers of significance to her creations.
Through her art, Justina Agnė Kizogian encourages viewers to slow down and reflect, inviting them to notice the beauty of the present and to value serendipitous moments. Her paintings urge the audience to look beyond the surface and to welcome both the expected and the surprising elements inherent in creative discovery.
About this artwork+
In the painting "Grey" by Justina Agnė Kizogian, a large grey canvas dominates the background, its surface textured and profound. Within this grey expanse are inset smaller panels showcasing a variety of scenes and abstract elements. One striking panel features a large, vibrant pink flower filling the frame, its petals stretching outward with dynamic brushstrokes and highlighted with white, giving a sense of fragility and bloom. To the left, there's a colorful panel resembling a collection of curved forms and vivid hues, possibly depicting fabrics or a close-up of a whimsical scene, imbued with joyful colors contrasting the surrounding grey. Another panel contains an abstract landscape or setting under a blue sky. Along the bottom edge, smaller scenes appear partially obscured by the main grey field, including what looks like a blue seascape. Additionally, there's a depiction of a pale green plant-like figure that adds a touch of nature to the composition. The entire assembly produces a thought-provoking juxtaposition between the monochrome, textured background and the bursts of vivid color and life in the detailed insets.
