Cotton buds (2024) Painting by Daiva Karaliūtė

Daiva Karaliūtė is a contemporary Lithuanian self-taught painter with a deep fascination for mysticism. Her work is inspired by the old masters, as well as themes of eternity, religion, the mysteries of humanity, nature, and the afterlife. When painting both simple objects and abstractions, she seeks to imbue them with a sense of mystery that draws the viewer in, encouraging exploration.

Whether her work is figurative or abstract, Daiva often creates an impression of fog, with mysterious light seemingly penetrating through it, as though deceiving the eye. Her use of darker colors serves to emphasize a sense of darkness, suggesting that our perception of the world is limited, and that we can only grasp certain things vaguely.

Despite these explorations, Daiva is constantly searching for her own unique style while honing her skills. She is currently experimenting with a variety of styles, from abstraction to impressionism and realism. She believes that an artist should experience different stages of creativity before discovering their true path. For Daiva, working in various styles enhances her abilities, diversity, and imagination, ensuring that she never grows bored with the process.
