More about this artwork

The painting depicts a carefully arranged still life consisting of several objects. In the foreground, there is a large, pink cockle-shell, prominent and detailed, alongside a smaller red-pink seashell. To the left of the shell sits a tall, ornately decorated metallic glass with embossed designs, appearing slightly tarnished, which adds a rustic charm. Next to the glass, there is a whimsical little figure resembling a doll wearing ethnic clothing, predominantly red and black, with white feather-like details that add a touch of delicacy. The figure stands on a small, square platform which has a label with the word "Cuba" on it. In the background, one can discern soft, draped hues of green and blue that might suggest curtains or fabric, providing a serene backdrop that contrasts pleasantly with the intricate details of the objects. The play of texture and light across the surfaces creates a dynamic interplay, enhancing the tactile quality of the painting.

Nomeda Balasevičiūtė was born in Kaunas (and lives there all the time), studied at the music school, then at the Art school of M. Martinaitis. From her early years she had a dream to illustrate children's books and fulfilled it.

 In 1988  Nomeda graduated from Vilnius Academy of Arts ( previously State Art Institute of Lithuania) and started drawing illustrations for the magazine  "Genys", then for the newspaper "Tukas" meant for children. Later she created a newspaper for her first daughter Jūratė and all other girls of her age and named it "Pepė" that after some time became the magazine "Pepė", which was followed by edition of her own books for children. Not only illustrations but also texts were written by Nomeda.

Currently she gives design lessons at Kaunas College.- institution that provides higher education in the areas of technologies, social sciences, biomedicine, humanities and arts. 

At present she is involved in oil painting, but sometimes illustrations have influence on canvases. Besides, she uses other kinds of creation e.g. sculpture - constructive conversations with recyclable things transforming them into unexpected works of art.
