In Silence

In Lina Beržanskytė-Trembo's work, as the artist herself says, nothing is invented, everything is felt. It is a world of feelings and inner experiences that has taken shape on canvas. 

Lina's artistic expression balances between abstraction and recognisable silhouettes of women and landscapes. It is important for the artist to work impromptu, to let the hand move, to guide herself, to make the work as organic as possible, to reflect as accurately as possible what is going on inside. Although the artist is also familiar with natural motifs and depictions of natural transformations, her works are mostly devoted to the themes of the inner world of man: loneliness, peace of mind, prophetic visions, prayer, touching eternity, love. Even through the motifs of nature, the author tries to convey the cycles that occur in human beings - desolation, stagnation, resurrection, blossoming, abundance.

"It seems that through the elasticity and vitality of the line, the frenzy of colours, I manage to capture the connection between the moment and the Eternal Mystery, and that this is best revealed through the uncharted vision and the charm of unexplored desires," says the artist.
