"...D. Ivanauskaitė's works takes us to the world of transcendental thought and artistic feelings. In the colored sheets of the linocuts, where the abstract space penetrates and the confusing trajectories of the migrating forms emerge, we recognize the long-awaited silence of the blue evening, the indescribable giddiness of blooming gardens, and the frightening mystery of the forest density. These are visual meditations, enveloped in light poetic cloaks, associatively conveying the connection with the ubiquitous nature and the personal experience of existence. " Art critic G. Gurnevičiūtė / Meeting with Daliutė Ivanauskaitė's work./
