All artworks

Kristina Šaudinytė is an artist whose strong bond with nature deeply informs her creative expression. Raised amidst forested landscapes, she drew continual inspiration from the changing beauty that surrounded her. By attentively observing the cycles and transformations of the land, she cultivated a heightened sensitivity to the interplay between people and the natural world. This organic exchange is vividly represented in her artwork, where animals such as badgers, rats, goats, squirrels, and monkeys often animate her vibrant canvases.

At the heart of Šaudinytė’s artistry lies a profound investigation into the connection between humans and the natural environment. She explores their unavoidable, and at times perilous, interrelationship, frequently distilling organic forms down to geometric lines and shapes. Through this method, she emphasizes the fundamental character of nature while reflecting on humanity's role within it. Her artworks thus serve both as homages and contemplations on the fragile equilibrium linking all forms of life.

Originating from the Skuodas district, Šaudinytė remains based there, dedicating herself to her creative pursuits. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Applied Art from Šiauliai University, an education that provided her with practical skills as well as a strong conceptual basis for her work. This academic foundation is apparent in the deliberate structure and thoughtful approach evident within her compositions.

Šaudinytė’s talents have achieved recognition beyond Lithuania. She has taken part in prominent international art fairs, including the annual ‘New Artist’ and ‘Talented Art’ exhibitions in London. Her pieces are included in private collections across Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, a testament to her wide appeal and the universal significance found in her chosen themes.

About this artwork+

The painting presents a group of white hens energetically striding from right to left across the canvas. Their forms are stylized and angular, harmonizing with the structured environment around them. They are depicted with an angular abstraction that emphasizes their motion, with their plumage in mid-flutter and heads held high with bright red combs. The background consists of vertical bars in varying shades of green and gray, suggesting a fence or barrier, over which lush green plants with large, patterned leaves hang down, adding a touch of nature and contrast to the orderly, geometrical backdrop. The overall effect is a dynamic blend of nature and structure, evoking a sense of freedom and liveliness within constrained spaces.
