Together

Daiva Margienė is an artist whose creative process centers on exploring the mysterious and the sacred. She values open, intuitive interaction with her senses, explaining that much of her inspiration comes from sudden insights. Margienė regards the physical depiction in her works as a fleeting ornament—something that continuously changes across time and space. Nevertheless, while viewers’ connections to these images shift, the core message persists.

During the last decade, a particularly active period in her painting, Margienė has witnessed her own evolution as an artist. Her inquiry is profoundly philosophical, concentrating on the relationship between what is tangible and what is not, between material and immaterial realms. Through her artistic practice, she seeks to examine the inner landscape and uncover the deeper significance she believes exists beyond outward appearance.

Margienė’s work strikes a fine balance between figurative representation and abstraction, establishing a distinctive visual language. She uses expressive, assured strokes to create and dissolve forms, encouraging the audience to recognize familiar shapes before they recede into abstraction. This shifting interplay keeps viewers engaged, continually challenging their perceptions and expectations.

In the end, Margienė considers the viewer indispensable in interpreting her pieces. She leads the audience to rely on intuition and the expressiveness of color, allowing each association to unfold into the next. In doing so, every painting becomes a unique journey of discovery, its meaning revealed through the viewer’s active participation and openness to perceiving what lies beyond the obvious.
