Angel Letter

Jurgita Vaidilaitė is an artist embodying a generation dedicated to preserving and exploring creative freedom. Her artistic method centers on withdrawing from the typical, material reality to construct a metaphysical realm, brought to life through vivid brushwork and harmonious color palettes. In her paintings, Vaidilaitė shapes a wholly original world where self-expression is used as a means to probe profound philosophical themes, rather than serving as a goal in itself.

Vaidilaitė's aim extends beyond personal fulfillment; she endeavors to foster a meaningful dialogue between her artwork and those who experience it. She maintains that art demands its own distinctive visual language—a system of pictorial symbols—to effectively express the artist’s inner thoughts and feelings. Her characteristic imagery frequently comprises visions and symbolic elements, such as angels, celestial birds, and cosmic spaces imbued with spring-like green hues. Yet her creations remain grounded in earthly motifs: trees, lakes, streams, and blossoming meadows, all depicted with an elevation that approaches the idyllic or paradisical.

To Vaidilaitė, reality is inherently mysterious, and she perceives the artist’s purpose as an attempt to reveal this underlying enigma. Through her paintings, she beckons viewers to step into the unfamiliar—a domain accessible only through intuition or emotion—nurturing a spiritual bond between intellect and heart. Her art seeks to unite the physical world with the imagination, urging spectators to see beyond what is immediately visible.

Her works have attracted collectors in Lithuania, the Czech Republic, England, France, and Germany. Vaidilaitė has contributed to numerous significant exhibitions, such as the 2000 International Quadrennial in Prague, and solo presentations in Vilnius, including "Masks" (2000) and "Lightly, Playfully" (2007). She has also participated in exhibitions organized by Vilnius Academy of Arts and by Lithuanian animation filmmakers, highlighting her engagement in both painting and scenography.
