Kristina Venslauskiene

I work with figurative sculpture, creating hand-sculpted pieces from air-dry clay and finishing them with mixed media. Each figure is formed slowly, allowing its expression and character to develop naturally.
My ideas come from nature, everyday moments, and subtle emotional states that often go unnoticed. I’m drawn to quiet characters and simple forms - the kind that reveal emotion through a small gesture or a slight shift in mood.
I build each piece with close attention to texture, expression and presence. My sculptures invite the viewer to come closer, look longer, and notice fine details. Each work is crafted individually from start to finish, carrying its own sense of quiet storytelling.

I studied figurative sculpture with professional artists more than 20 years ago. Later I continued improving my technique on my own, developed my own style, and today I also teach others what I’ve learned along the way — both what I was taught and what I discovered myself.
