Artwork in the room
Lina Beržanskytė-Trembo is a Lithuanian artist whose creative practice draws strongly from her personal emotions and inner experiences. As she herself says, "nothing is invented, everything is felt," a statement that underscores the authenticity and sincerity woven throughout her art. Her canvases become vivid manifestations of her internal reality, rendering both fragile and intense emotions as they materialize in paint.
Her work balances elegantly between abstraction and identifiable forms, most often featuring silhouettes of women and elements of landscape. Lina favors a spontaneous approach, allowing her hand to lead the artistic journey intuitively. While she often draws upon natural motifs and their various transformations, her art centers on the human interior: solitude, serenity, prophecy, prayer, a sense of eternity, and love. Even in her depictions of nature, she investigates recurring cycles that echo human emotional states—loneliness, stillness, renewal, blossoming, and fullness.
The artist characterizes her process as an attempt to capture the link between fleeting instances and the Eternal Mystery. She does so through "the elasticity and vitality of the line" and a "frenzy of colours," channeling visions and desires that have yet to be explored. Each piece becomes an investigation of the threshold between reality and the mystical, inviting viewers to witness her rich inner world.
Lina Beržanskytė-Trembo was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 1970 to a family of physicians. She completed her studies at the renowned M. K. Čiurlionis Art School in 1989, specializing in painting, then continued at the Vilnius Academy of Arts with a focus on fresco-mosaic. After earning her degree in 1995, she spent several years living in Stuttgart, Germany, where she took part in solo and group exhibitions. Upon returning to Vilnius in 2000, she organized numerous shows and, since 2007, has been a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Union. So far, she has staged more than 50 solo exhibitions and participated in over 40 group shows both in Lithuania and internationally.
About this artwork+
The painting titled "Angel of Goodness" portrays an ethereal figure that appears to be an angel. The angel, depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, stands with eyes closed, exuding a sense of peace and benevolence. The background is awash with soft, hazy shades of blues, grays, and warm browns, creating a dream-like ambiance that suggests otherworldliness or a celestial realm. Gentle brush strokes and subtle color gradations give the painting a delicate and slightly textured feel. The angel is adorned with what seem to be simple, small, white flower-like motifs scattered across the chest, adding an element of purity and sanctity to the figure. Large, graceful wings extend from the figure's back, rendered in muted whites and grays, their outlines softly blending into the surrounding hues, enhancing the angel's mystical presence. Hints of abstract patterns and lines faintly visible in the background contribute to the overall mystical and atmospheric quality of the work, inviting the viewer to contemplate the angel’s tranquil yet powerful presence, embodying goodness and spiritual grace.
