about the artist
Emilija Žukauskaitė is a freelance painter and illustrator based in Vilnius & Bali.
Her venture into painting began in 2013 as a quiet rebellion against the toxic lifestyle she had naively allowed in. Unable to express her emotions verbally, she discovered that the canvas became not only an interpreter but also a therapeutic escape.
what is my work about?
I strive to make a powerful first impression through the colors and vivacious themes I choose. Each work serves as a statement piece, my way of engaging in a dialogue with the viewer & inviting him into a world where desire and art intertwine.
I prefer canvases that are expansive, providing a vast stage for my artistic exploration. The sheer size adds a physicality, engulfing the viewer in the immersive experience of my creations.
I almost never think about art when I paint. I think about life.
— E.Žukauskaitė
Bali
Emilija also has a deep connection to Bali, where she spends time each year to immerse herself in the vibrant island culture.
During her stays in Bali, she welcomes the opportunity to take orders for custom artworks.
