Marija Rinkevičiūtė-Špakauskė | Silent Seeing

28/03–12/04/2024  

The creative process of Marija Rinkevičiūtė-Špakauskė is accompanied by explorations of materiality, leading to abstract expression and attention to memory. The works on display in the solo exhibition “Silent Seeing” are full of coincidences from found objects to intuitive searches for wax surfaces.

"I experience a painting as a complex organism that functions as a set of experiences in a particular space and time. For this reason, I see my works as echoes of momentary experiences. Echoes that I cannot find words to describe", says Marija about her artistic practice.

Marija Rinkevičiūtė-Špakauskė (born 1993) is a painter splitting her time between Brussels and Vilnius. She received her BA degree in monumental art from the Vilnius Academy of Arts and MA degree in painting from Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels. She has been actively participated in group and solo exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad.

The exhibition is supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.

Opening: On the 28th of March (Thursday) at 6:00 PM at the VAA gallery Artifex (Gaono str. 1, Vilnius)

Gallery opening hours: II-V 12-18, VI-12-16.
