I like experiencing the sea and the land in tactile, hands-on ways. Living near the sea gives me an excellent opportunity to explore the coast and the underwater environment. I think of my pieces as imaginative, implosive landscapes, held on a flat surface. I am interested in the texture, rhythm and the feel of experience, not in the content or meaning. My work is process-based and I aim to preserve traces of the multiple layers, as nature embeds itself in every pebble, rock, shell or tree trunk.
I like mixing abstraction with hints of more recognisable nature forms and shapes, but aim to leave enough room for the poetry, mystery and open interpretation, which is what nature is for me.
Artist Bio: She completed a Master of Fine Art at the Vilnius Art Academy in Lithuania and was a recipient of a scholarship at the International Summer Academy in Salzburg.
Brigita has always been fascinated by the landscape, and organic forms and textures. Her paintings are not intended to replicate a scene, but rather evoke a feeling and a sense of place. Brigita’s paintings are visceral and relate to inward feeling rather than to intellect. Her painting process is spontaneous and raw, and her visual language features abstract textural shapes, rhythmical patterns, calligraphic marks, and unique colour combinations.
Brigita’s fascination with the underwater world and snorkelling is evident in her art practice. Her unexpected seascapes appear in ever changing new ways, but organic textural marks that remind of a hand-woven tapestry remain distinct to her artistic style.
