She graduated from the Painting Department of the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 1989. Her professional recognition was further established when she joined the Lithuanian Artists’ Association in 2001.

Her paintings are noted for their realistic depictions of people and animals, frequently set against geometric patterns and surreal elements. By combining these aspects, she creates a compelling visual language that fuses realism with surrealism, encouraging viewers to enter her creative universe. The prominent use of bold shapes and motifs further enhances the distinctive mood of her pieces.
Theatricality features strongly in Kosinskaitė’s works, where images of masks and costumes are commonly found. She persistently examines themes of femininity, conveying sensuality, romance, and emotional richness. Through such themes, her paintings achieve both visual allure and intellectual depth.
About this artwork+
There's a painting of a vintage-style teapot depicted in a distinctive olive green hue. The teapot sits centered on a roughly circular, texturally interesting backdrop, where black speckles and patches irregularly mar a lighter gray base, giving an impression of worn or weathered material. The teapot itself is painted with smooth, robust contours, highlighting its solid, chunky handle and a short, stout spout. Its lid has a simple knob, primly placed at the top, completing its functional and charming appeal. The teapot, combined with the abstractly mottled background, evokes a sense of nostalgia and simplicity, reminiscent of a found object against an aged surface. The overall composition balances the vivid, singular subject with an artfully chaotic background, creating both contrast and harmony within this art piece.
