“The Artistic Journey of Interior Landscape Painter Areta Didžionienė”
Young generation painter Areta Didžionienė lives and works in Tauragė, Lithuania. In Klaipėda, the author studied Evangelical Theology for a bachelor’s degree and she was graduated in 2005. After that, was studied at Šiauliai University and in 2007 she defended my master’s degree in economics. It was during that period that she understood who she was, where my heart was relentlessly calling me, and she picked up a brush. She have been painting since 2009. She was accepted into the Samogitian Artists’ Union, and began my creative and exhibition activities. In 2019, she entered the Klaipėda Faculty of the Lithuanian Academy of Arts for a master’s degree in visual design. She was graduated from these master’s degrees in 2021. Now she currently work as an artist at the Tauragė Cultural Center.While studying various fields of science, the painter Areta Didžionienė deepened her knowledge mainly in the Baltic signs, cultural signs and symbols, and improved her knowledge in computer graphics skills. The main theme of the author “The phenomenon of the world tree of the Baltic culture. A visual cosmological journey” was the theme of theoretical and creative work. The author’s creative quests include very interesting artistic compositions. The tree is very important in the author’s work as an object of research and creation. Not only existential, but also philosophical questions are important in the author’s work, but also the search for the inner world, as well as the constant change and transformation of spiritual values. The following themes are important in the author’s work: time, search, The author’s work is dominated by the search for truth, combined with human emotions. The main visual objects in the paintings are trees and moving water. Water often reflects the space of clear air.A journey to oneself through the language of artIn Areta’s work, not only form or aesthetic image is important, but also the exploration of the inner world. The artist constantly returns to questions that do not imply final answers, but arouse the desire to think, feel, discover. This is a painting that not only expresses, but also provokes a dialogue with oneself.The audience often notices that when looking at Areta's paintings, the sense of time begins to strangely dissolve: the work seems to open the door to an inner world, where the past and the present merge into a single experience. The viewer no longer knows where the frame of the painting ends and where the fabric of his own emotions and memories begins.Art as a bridge between feeling and realityAreta Didžionienė's artistic journey is a constant balancing act between the motives of the external world and inner impulses. In her work, art becomes a bridge between the visible and the inexpressible – between what we can touch with our hands and what we feel with our hearts. Such creations invite not only to observe, but also to be – to be here, to be now, to be consciously engaged in visual, emotional and aesthetic experience.Art critic Gabrielė Kuizinaitė
