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+
The painting "The Feeling of Summer II" by Živilė Vaičiukynienė is vibrant. It uses a mix of blues, greens, and warm tones. The colors blend together, creating a sense of movement. It feels like sunlight filtering through leaves. The style is abstract. It doesn't try to show realistic forms. Instead, it captures the essence of summer. The textures are rich and layered. They give depth to the painting. Vaičiukynienė is known for this expressive approach. Her work often evokes emotions. This piece is no different. It conveys warmth and energy, like a sunny day.
