Our main goal is to help you find the one artwork that truly fits and delights you — it is an object that will decorate your home for a long time and will eventually be passed on to future generations.

Artwork in the room
Violeta Bulavienė is an artist moved by the modest aspects and quiet intervals of daily existence. She perceives significance and beauty in ordinary things—be it a stretch of beach sand, an untouched sheet of paper, or a blank canvas—offering spaces where the day's musings, breezes, and feelings may settle, bringing about a sense of presence and calm. Her creative outlook also gravitates toward the timeless enigmas of womanhood, honoring the unwavering strength and wild essence of women, portrayed as saints or sinners, yet always embraced by love and hope.
Bulavienė’s curiosity includes the personal environment of the home. She observes the nuanced elements, such as the shine of a cup nestled in a corner. Through her artwork, she expresses the dynamic between shadows and light, elevating commonplace domestic scenes into moments of splendor and spiritual resonance, surpassing the usual patterns of everyday life.
Alongside her artistic endeavors, Violeta Bulavienė possesses a substantial foundation in the field of medicine. She completed her studies at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) in 1983 and went on to practice as a neurologist. Her growth as an artist has been fostered by mentors like Genoveta Milevičienė, lead of the art studio "Saulėtekis," as well as the architect and painter Romualdas Šilinskas. She regards life itself as one of her most valuable instructors.
Bulavienė has been a member of the Union of Folk Artists since 1984 and has taken part in numerous national and solo exhibitions. Her artwork has appeared in Germany, Norway, and at the "Aušra" Museum in Šiauliai, Lithuania. Through her creations, she continually reveals and celebrates the remarkable within the ordinary, inviting viewers to notice beauty in spaces and moments that frequently escape attention.

About this artwork+
The painting depicts a woman with long, auburn hair gently tied back, sitting and reading a large, open book. She wears a soft lime green sweater and her expression is one of deep concentration and peacefulness. Her fingers and hands delicately interact with the pages of the book, where a small, dried flower is placed, marking a specific section. The background is a mix of soft purples and blues, setting a calm and introspective mood. Her posture and the intimate setting suggest a moment of solitude and personal engagement with her reading material.
