About the Artist
Erika Vilimaitytė is a contemporary painter from Lithuania whose practice centers on large-scale, figurative compositions that invite prolonged viewing and quiet contemplation. Working primarily with acrylic and oil on canvas, she creates layered works in which repetition, stillness, and subtle tension become central visual elements.
Her paintings unfold through multiple layers of paint, gesture, and form. Figures appear suspended in time — resting, floating, or repeating — creating a sense of pause rather than narrative. The scale of the works allows the viewer to physically engage with the painting, encouraging a slower, more attentive way of seeing.
Erika’s creative process is intuitive and accumulative. Each layer responds to the previous one, building depth, texture, and emotional resonance. Muted palettes, soft transitions, and restrained movement form an atmosphere where silence, introspection, and presence take precedence. Her works exist in the space between motion and stillness, offering the viewer a moment to stop, observe, and remain.
