In The Space

Agota Bričkutė, born in 1993 in Klaipėda, Lithuania, is a contemporary painter belonging to the younger generation of Lithuanian artists. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Art History, Criticism, and Media from Vytautas Magnus University in 2016. Since beginning to paint actively in 2017, Agota has developed a promising career, taking part in over 15 solo and group exhibitions. Her artworks have been included in private collections both within Lithuania and abroad.

Intuition plays a vital role in Agota Bričkutė's creative process, as she allows her subconscious to lead her artistic direction. This method closely corresponds to the surrealist principle of automatism, in which spontaneous impulses and visions influence the evolution of her works. As she paints, these impressions are transformed into allegorical and symbolic stories, inviting audiences to unearth the layers of meaning present in each piece. Her color choices are bold and decorative, employing a vivid palette that stands in stark contrast to the often intricate and paradoxical motifs underneath.

Agota Bričkutė’s art explores the interconnectedness between humans and nature as its main theme. Instead of depicting conventional landscapes, she reimagines elements of the natural world as emotionally charged dreamscapes, where humanity and the environment are locked in a constant, spirited exchange. This approach allows her paintings to mirror personal experience, probing various psychological moods and emotional reactions.

Utilizing a liberated, associative visual language, Agota Bričkutė welcomes viewers into her fantastical realm, nurturing a connection that is both intellectual and emotional. Her expressive style and symbolism enable her to investigate her internal world, while also providing the audience space to contemplate their own interpretations and emotions. Through her art, Agota establishes a conversation between artist and viewer, uniting private introspection with broader, universal themes.
