Artwork in the room
Vilma Vasiliauskaitė, an artist from Druskininkai, Lithuania, possesses a strong foundation in both fine and applied arts. She spent 14 years studying at Druskininkai Art School, went on to attend the Faculty of Fine Arts at Šiauliai University, and ultimately earned a Master’s degree in painting. Throughout her artistic journey, Vilma has been actively involved in the art scene, taking part in more than 50 group exhibitions and holding over 100 solo shows. She is affiliated with the Lithuanian Artists’ Union and associates herself with the “Individualists” collective.
The sources of Vilma’s inspiration are wide-ranging, encompassing the natural world as well as fleeting impressions drawn from memory. Her paintings often portray interiors, still lifes, and human figures, while she also delves into mythological and historical motifs, as well as subjects related to dance, society, and contemporary global issues. Her art serves as a visual expression of her personal contemplations and recollections, which are allowed to develop before coming to life in vibrant color on the canvas.
Vilma Vasiliauskaitė’s work is distinguished by soft pastel colors and gentle, subdued tones. While certain pieces carry the translucent effect characteristic of watercolor, she primarily uses oil paints. A recurring theme in her art is the representation of ballerinas and the intricacies of their everyday experiences. With careful, deliberate brushwork, she conveys the flowing movements and energy of dance, transforming fleeting gestures into an enduring visual language.
The theatrical influence in her paintings is evident in scenes unfolding behind the ballet stage, where textured elements such as draped fabrics and feminine silhouettes play a central role. Motifs of liberation, symbolized by raised wings of birds and the powerful vitality of dance, appear throughout her work. Nostalgic echoes of childhood and a thoughtful sense of waiting also feature prominently. The poetic qualities in Vilma Vasiliauskaitė’s paintings invite the viewer to explore both emotional complexity and visual delicacy.

About this artwork+
The painting portrays two elderly women engaged in the playful activity of skipping rope. Both women are wearing vividly colored clothes; one in orange and the other in blue, adding a whimsical, lively quality to their appearance. Each woman has a unique hairstyle, painted in sweeping strokes of pink and yellow. Their faces are expressive, adorned with large, round glasses and painted with broad, joyful smiles, suggesting a moment of pure, uninhibited happiness. The background is a soft blend of green and blue hues, perhaps indicating a lush, open outdoor space. The red of the jump ropes they are holding creates a striking contrast with the cooler tones of the background, emphasizing the energy and movement within the scene. Their poses and expressions suggest a moment of laughter and light-heartedness, capturing a sense of youthfulness despite their age.
