More about this artwork

In this painting, a figure appears to be floating or levitating against a rich, textural mustard-yellow background. The person, who seems almost sculpted, has their right knee lifted and the left leg extended slightly backward, with a gentle ambiguity in posture that conveys both motion and stillness. What makes this figure particularly striking are the large, intricate wings resembling those of a butterfly, attached to the figure's back. These wings span outward and upward, detailed with multiple hues and patterns that suggest a naturalistic inspiration. Surrounding the central figure are smaller, less detailed figures that also possess wings, although these creatures are darker and more muted, possibly representing shadows or echoes of the main figure’s motion. The entire composition feels dynamic yet harmonious, combining elements of the mythical and the natural.

Skaistė Verdingytė belongs to the middle generation of artists and has been an active member of the Lithuanian art community for more than a decade.

In her work, you will immediately notice an element that is very important in art, but in contemporary art has been undeservedly relegated to the second, if not the third, place - strong drawing. And its mastery is, of course, best revealed in the nude.

The artist herself says that drawing people from life is the basis of her work. But this drawing is far from being dry - the artist is concerned with the relationship of the human being to the space around him or her, with revealing inner states through the body. Notice how often the figure is almost merged with its surroundings, either transparent as if it were not a body but a soul, or echoing a nearby ornament. The transparent figures in the background of the landscape seem to indicate harmony with nature, but the blending with the wall pattern can already be interpreted in the opposite way, as a longing for freedom and the same nature. Nevertheless, the human body remains sacred here, as the most perfect creation, worthy of admiration.  And, of course, alongside the realistic drawing, the surrealist elements are very well suited, as if awakening from that haunting dream of reality.  

Absolutely exceptional works in the context of contemporary painting, enjoy and rethink!

The artist is a member of the Monumentalist Section of the Lithuanian Artists' Union. Since 2006 she has been a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Union's "Secret Drawers Society" (a human life drawing studio).
