All artworks

Lidija Skačkauskaitė Kuklienė is an artist whose creative vision is rooted in the profound interplay between life and artistic expression. She likens creativity to "the inhalation and exhalation of existence," emphasizing its indispensable presence in her daily being. Drawing inspiration from the cosmos, Lidija perceives life as intimately intertwined with vast universal forces, a perspective that deeply informs the way she creates art.

For Lidija, nature stands as her foremost source of inspiration, offering both material and motivation for her artistic ventures. She does not approach nature merely as a visual motif, but rather as a continuous exchange, seeking to reinterpret and illuminate its mysteries through her own lens. In her practice, she moves beyond nature's outward forms, aspiring to reveal that which cannot be seen—the “inner breath of the earth,” the transient moods of the changing seasons, and the profound secrets that defy verbal articulation.

The subtle nuance and understated beauty present in nature are at the heart of Lidija’s body of work. She holds the view that every flower contains the complexity of the universe, each blossom harboring intricate codes and meanings. This philosophy becomes especially apparent in her abstract works, where sinuous lines and forms guide the observer on a meditative path, encouraging an inquiry that reaches beneath what is immediately apparent.

Through her art, Lidija Skačkauskaitė Kuklienė invites viewers to renew their relationship with nature and to acknowledge the forgotten connections linking people to the natural environment. Her pieces create a contemplative space, prompting the audience to gaze more deeply, listen more closely, and rediscover the wonders that lie within the world around us. With her creations, Lidija endeavors to ignite a sense of awe and presence, drawing attention to the delicate yet profound bonds uniting all forms of life.

About this artwork+

The painting depicts two trees with intermingling branches, forming a dense, unified canopy. This canopy is adorned with numerous white leaves, clustered thickly at the edges while sparingly near the center, creating a luminous, heart-shaped silhouette against a soft, creamy background. The scene is tranquil, with a hint of ethereality, as light seems to emanate from beneath the horizon, casting gentle rays upward that graze the base of the trees. Small, white flecks—possibly petals or snowflakes—float around the trees, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the tableau. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and intertwined existence.
