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+
This painting shows a figure of Mary holding baby Jesus. They are standing in front of a landscape that looks like a town by a river. Above Mary’s head, there is a radiant halo with symbols and designs. She wears a white robe and a bright orange-red cloak. Lilies are at her feet; they often symbolize purity. The style is distinctly textured and vibrant. Colors are vivid, and the brushwork is expressive. There’s a mix of realism in the figures and a touch of folk art in the background and halo. Nomeda Balasevičiūtė, the artist, has a unique style. She often incorporates elements of her Lithuanian heritage into her works, capturing spiritual and local themes beautifully.
