Vaida Mikliušienė: Lithuania
Vaida was born in Kėdainiai, Lithuania. After years of working as a lawyer, she is now focused on establishing her career as a professional artist in Thun, Switzerland.
She is known for creating large surrealistic oil paintings and believes in the endless expressive possibilities, using classical techniques. Through her work, she looks to offer a moment of refuge from the contemporary world. To capture a beautiful moment in time. A moment from another day lived. One where nature intertwines around figures, trying to sprout, and unfold, to show its natural beauty.
Every painting is crafted through several layering techniques, evolving slowly, layer upon layer. Sometimes taking months at a time to complete.
Vaida's work expands outside her studio. In 2020 she started challenging herself by painting en plein air. She also regularly paints acts and works with models, all of which have an influence on her major works' techniques and style back in her studio.
Many of her paintings have found a home in private collections in France, Lithuania, Switzerland, and England.
