Vaida Mikliusiene: Lithuania
Vaida Mikliusiene was born in Kėdainiai, Lithuania where she graduated from the School of Arts. After receiving her Masters in Law at the Vilnius University, she then went on to practice Intellectual Property Law, Commercial Law, and Litigation for 6 years. Thereafter in 2015, Vaida moved to Thun in Switzerland with her husband and 2 children, where she is currently working as a freelance artist.
Her works tell of the secret inner life of the woman, of the transformations of the personality of a woman during her lifetime and of the bonds between the female generations. Vaida was moved by the latest scientific insights into the brains of women, which confirmed that women's brains undergo substantial and long-lasting physiological changes during puberty and pregnancy. They change their behavior, and their personality to which was a very personal topic for further artistic exploration for Vaida.
Vaida conveys this complex feminine theme through her figurative oil paintings of women and girls, mothers and daughters, associated with surrealist or abstract personal environments. Sometimes she releases her ideas through entirely abstract work. She is inspired by ethno culture, geometric ornaments and traditional handicrafts of women. And when she paints she feels as though she is sewing, weaving or knitting with her brush.
She never stops searching for beauty and harmony.
