Zivile Vaiciukyniene

Živilė Vaičiukynienė is a contemporary painter from Lithuania whose work is driven by inner freedom and emotional authenticity. Painting for her is a space where unspoken thoughts and subtle emotional states find visual expression beyond words.

Her artworks are created through an intuitive process, allowing color, movement, and form to emerge naturally. Light, flowing compositions and a sense of quiet mystery invite the viewer into a contemplative dialogue, where each painting becomes a personal emotional experience rather than a defined story.

Active in the art scene since 2007, the artist regularly participates in international plein airs and exhibitions. Her paintings are held in private collections across Europe and South Africa.

Since 2020, Živilė Vaičiukynienė has been the initiator and curator of the international painting exhibition “Carpe Diem.” Her work seeks to create an emotional presence — art that resonates, lingers, and becomes part of the viewer’s inner landscape.
