Indian Trees

Kristina Čivilytė is a Lithuanian artist who earned her Master’s degree in Painting from the Kaunas Faculty of Vilnius Art Academy. Residing in Kaunas, she is an active participant in the Lithuanian Artists Association. Since 2013, Kristina has taken part in numerous exhibitions, including over 20 solo shows and more than 35 group exhibitions. Her international portfolio features her participation in an artist symposium held in India in November 2018, as well as a group exhibition in Athens, Greece, in 2019.

The creative path of this painter is shaped by her guiding principle: Art only begins where Imitation ends. (Oscar Wilde) This belief is evident in her willingness to transcend the confines of conventional painting, choosing to emphasize individuality and creative expression above the simple replication of the visible world.

Kristina Čivilytė’s paintings stand out for their bold and dynamic color schemes. She frequently uses both vivid and misty hues, often weaving in the deep, warm tones of autumn to establish striking visual contrasts. The abstract elements present in her work encourage audiences to discover their own meanings, transforming each piece into a personal journey across memories, impressions, and envisioned possibilities.

At the heart of Kristina's artistry lies a spirit of experimentation. She adeptly blends conventional and mixed media methods, at times introducing specialized techniques to amplify the emotional depth of her paintings. Her creative process is intuitive, with artworks taking shape organically through memory, exploration, and a profound sense of spiritual and imaginative inquiry. This approach has resulted in a collection marked by a distinctive energy, a quality highlighted by art critic Agnė Bartišiūtė-Janušienė.
