"Looking Up" Painting

Diana Savostaite is a contemporary artist living and working in London. Her artworks are innovative and experimental, pushing the boundaries of the painting medium. Inspired by her immediate surroundings and personal connection to the natural world, her work intertwines moments from both the present and the past.

Diana's practice has evolved through extensive exploration and experimentation with materials, textures, and canvas forms. She creates large compositions using multiple irregularly shaped canvases, combine them with found objects, or handmade sculptural elements - allowing them to disrupt and interact with the surrounding space.
Her recent works incorporate unexpected materials such as rust, marble dust, silver leaf, clay, embroidery collages, and open-work wooden frames.

Diana graduated with MA of Fine Art from the City and Guilds of London Art School (2026, UK), and BA in Fine Arts / Painting from the Vilnius Academy of Arts (2007, Lithuania).

Diana's work has been selected for a solo and group exhibitions across UK and Lithuania, and received several prestigious awards. Exhibitions include the RA Summer Exhibition (2024), The Waverton Art Prize (2024), Jackson’s Art Prize (2024), Works on Paper at Blue Shop Gallery (2024), and The Scalpel Project by The Chaucer x Mall Galleries (2023-2024). In 2021, she participated in Radical Residency VI at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop, culminating in an exhibition at the end of the residency.

Diana's artworks have found a place in private collections across Europe and the US, as well as in public and corporate collections, including The Chaucer Group at The Scalpel skyscraper in central London, and the Blue Shop Gallery in London.
