All artworks

Vakarė Armonaitė (b. 2002) is a contemporary Lithuanian painter and graphic artist, representing the newest generation within the country’s vibrant art community. She is currently undertaking Bachelor’s studies in Graphic Art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, a leading institution in Lithuania that has nurtured and influenced numerous emerging artists.

Her path as an artist began in 2018, immediately following her graduation from the Kaunas Antanas Martinaitis Art School. Motivated to refine her craft, Vakarė became part of a postgraduate creative collective. This influential period allowed her to broaden her experimentation and develop a deeper appreciation for visual creativity.

In 2019, Vakarė further developed her skills both independently and within private studios, collaborating with established artists Rimantas Aitmanas and Lukas Eugenijus Kolmogorcevas. The combination of personal exploration and direct mentorship enhanced her technical proficiency and creative outlook. From 2020 onwards, her involvement in painting and drawing workshops organized by the Vilnius Academy of Arts further advanced her artistic evolution.

From 2021, Vakarė has devoted herself to the academy’s Graphic Art Bachelor’s program, working on her own creative initiatives and showcasing her art in solo exhibitions. Her creations stand out for their liberated, bold use of bright colors, with an emphasis on abstraction rather than realism. Through her work, Vakarė aims to communicate with viewers, utilizing abstraction and color intensity to represent herself and foster an emotional connection.

About this artwork+

The painting captures a serene and mystical setting, dominated by a palette of soft greens, blues, and earthy tones. It portrays a group of abstract, ethereal figures, nestled within a surreal, aqueous landscape. The environment is filled with willowy, drooping vegetation that seems to both float and flow, contributing to a dreamlike atmosphere. At the heart of this scene is a circular pool, tiered like a gentle waterfall, where some of the figures appear to be bathing or emerging from the water. The use of light and shadow, along with the fluid shapes and contours, creates a sense of depth and motion, evoking a feeling of tranquility and contemplation. The figures, rendered with minimal detail, seem to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, suggesting a harmonious connection between the human form and the natural world.
