Živilė Vaičiukynienė is a contemporary Lithuanian artist and painter based in Kaunas and Prienai, an officially recognized artist, a creator of original jewellery, and a curator of international art projects. She has actively participated in exhibitions and plein-air painting events since 2007. Her unique, one-of-a-kind works have found their way into private collections across Europe, including Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Spain, as well as the Republic of South Africa.
In the artist’s oil and acrylic paintings, contemporary interpretations of nature become metaphors that open up a space for reflecting on the human inner world. Mystery is at the heart of her artistic practice. She never reveals everything entirely, leaving room for the viewer’s intuition. This sense of freedom and lightness is enhanced by her fluid, expressive brushwork, poetic imagery, and subtle interplay of light.
The expressive, raised textures on her canvases lend the works a tactile depth, transforming the magical world she creates into more than a visual focal point within an interior: it becomes a space for tranquillity and contemplation. Her aim is not to reproduce visible reality, but to bring light, a quiet dialogue, and spiritual harmony into the surrounding environment.

About this artwork+
This painting captures the essence of autumn in a dreamlike and abstract representation. The scene is drenched in rich, warm hues of orange, red, and yellow, suggestive of falling leaves and the cool decay of the season. Abstract forms and silhouettes of trees line the left side, standing as dark contrasts against the luminous background which bleeds into a softer palette of creams and light blues, possibly hinting at the sky or a distant clearing. The ground is a flurry of brush strokes in fiery colors, evoking the rustle of dry leaves underfoot. There's a palpable thickness to the air, as if the atmosphere itself is saturated with the colors and scents of autumn. The overall effect is both tranquil and vibrant, pulling the viewer into a serene, yet dynamic landscape.
