More about this artwork

In the painting, vivid splashes and strokes of red, purple, yellow, and blue blend together, creating a dynamic scene filled with six figures. Each figure appears engaged in different acts of preparation or performance, capturing a moment that feels both chaotic and intimate. The figure on the far left, clad in red, holds a white mask, poised as if in the midst of changing roles. Next to this figure, another character wearing a hat adorned with flowers faces away, adding to the sense of hurried anonymity. The central figure wears a black mask dotted with vibrant colors, holding a small doll, which suggests a surreal, possibly symbolic element. Towards the right, a figure in a blue and purple suit adjusts a plush, colorful garment, immersed in their task. The final figure on the extreme right stands out with a bright yellow top hat, holding what seems to be a paintbrush, pointing toward a palette rich with colors. Below these figures, in the foreground, two additional figures mimic the theme of duality and disguise seen above: one shrouded in a tulle-like fabric and the other sporting high-heeled shoes with bold blue accents, contributing to the overall theatricality and layered narrative of the painting. The composition, rife with movement and color fluctuations, depicts a backstage area teeming with artists in the flux of creation and transformation.

Artist

Watercolorist Daiva Šlajienė stands out from other artists for her use of rich, jewel-like colors. Through her watercolors, the artist often creates unexpected, vibrant images inspired by prehistory, personifying and narrating stories about ancient objects that become the main characters in her works. At the same time, she composes figure-based scenes—like movie frames frozen in time or moments from a performance—where every detail holds symbolic meaning. To help viewers better understand her creative ideas, the artist includes a short story or a verse of poetry with each piece. This can be found by opening the image and clicking on the "DESCRIPTION" section.

Daiva Šlajienė is a member of the Lithuanian Union of Artists and a watercolorist who organizes solo exhibitions both in Lithuania and abroad. She has participated in over three dozen national and international group exhibitions.

In 2024, for her watercolor works exhibited at international events, the artist received the following awards:

  • BALTIC BRIDGES at the 10th International Watercolor Biennale, 2024: X // TEN diploma
  • ART KAUNAS International Arts Festival, Winner of the 2024 Best Work competition
