More about this artwork

The painting depicts a group of pink, ethereal aardvarks in various stances of movement and rest, painted against a vibrant, textured background of blue and purple stripes interlaced with white floral or bubble-like patterns. These striped patterns curve and flow across the canvas, suggesting a dynamic, undulating terrain or a whimsical rendition of wind or water currents. A large, pale blue moon (or perhaps sun), surrounded by a halo of lighter blue, dominates the top center of the composition, casting an otherworldly glow that accentuates the mystical and serene ambiance of the scene. The gentle, dreamy quality of the colors and the rhythmic quality of the lines contribute to a sense of peaceful motion and harmonious pauses. The creatures seem to be in a state of gentle exploration or foraging, integrated deeply into the whimsical world around them.

My name is Verdenė Monika Valkiūnaitė. In 2018 I graduated from Vilnius Academy of Arts with a bachelor's degree in scenography and in 2021 - master's degree. Currently, I am intensively creating (scenographies, drawings, paintings) and participating in exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad.

In painting, I look for a style and expression that reflects my childhood experiences. I play and construct scenography on the planes and I look at the role of a scenographer from other angles, exclusively creating a sensual atmosphere on canvas.

For a long time, I didn’t draw sketches before painting I let everything appear on the canvas naturally, gradually, intuitively.

Multi-layering is important to me in canvases because of the depth and space created by it. Fresh, bright colors, their mutual contrasts and games played in paintings have an equally important role in painting also.

In exhibitions, I usually arrange the works in such a way that there is space to walk around, encounter obstacles or get to know characters you have never seen before, new, unexpected, sometimes cozy environments.

I don't believe in inspiration, I believe in constant work and searching, accumulating experiences, sifting through them, rethinking, reloading, analyzing, which later undergo transformation into works.
