Nomeda Balasevičiūtė was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, and has remained there throughout her life. Her love for the arts blossomed during her childhood, as she attended a local music school before enrolling at the M. Martinaitis Art School. Early on, Nomeda aspired to illustrate children's books, a dream she would ultimately achieve.
Nomeda graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts (formerly the State Art Institute of Lithuania) in 1988. Soon after, she started her career as an illustrator for "Genys" magazine and the children's newspaper "Tukas." Motivated by the wish to connect with young readers, she created a newspaper for her daughter Jūratė and her friends, calling it "Pepė." This initiative grew into a magazine and paved the way for the publication of Nomeda's own children's books, many of which she both wrote and illustrated.
Nomeda Balasevičiūtė teached design at Kaunas College, an institution that offers higher education in areas such as technology, social sciences, biomedicine, humanities, and the arts. Through her instruction, she contributes to the cultivation of a new generation of creative talent in Lithuania.
Nomeda is presently devoted to oil painting, where the hallmarks of her illustration background are frequently evident in her work. Alongside her painting, she delves into other creative pursuits, including sculpture, transforming recyclable materials through inventive “constructive conversations” to produce singular pieces of art.
About this artwork+
In the painting "Fish Gardens" by Nomeda Balasevičiūtė, an ethereal and imaginative landscape unfolds, merging aquatic and terrestrial elements in a surreal blend. The artwork shows oversized fish, rendered in warm shades of yellow and orange, floating above a lush garden. These fish have an elongated, streamlined form, resembling zeppelin structures, and seem to hover effortlessly above the ground. Below them, the garden is rich with greenery, showcasing rounded shrubbery and patches of flowers in vibrant hues of red and blue. The setting suggests an otherworldly or dreamlike scenario, where the boundaries between air and water blur, allowing fish to navigate garden pathways like birds through the sky. The background hints at a blue, water-like atmosphere with suspended, abstract shapes that could be interpreted as distant foliage or other aquatic elements. The impressionistic style and textured strokes enhance the fantastical feel of the scene, inviting viewers to ponder a world where nature’s rules are reimagined and beauty flourishes in unexpected forms.
