Dziuginta Didziokaite

“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.” (René Magritte)

The kiss, the main theme of artist Dziuginta Didziokaite's work is emotion, where movement, colour and romance become the focus of the work. It is a simple, figurative and colourful work that leaves the viewer with a feeling of joy and hope. Dziuginta Didziokaite paints portraits, characterised by the human figure as well as love. Her subjects can be interpreted from a twofold relative perspective. While time in its threefold facet conditions the subject, it is the artist herself who chooses the type of intervention. Her paintings reflect this dual choice by fixing something flowing on paper, such as a bike ride or a loving glance. Experience, and therefore also life, is not an option, but the certainty necessary to act in reality and find meaning in it. A goal, this, which is resolved by bringing back the lived without compromising the form and substance of the paintings. The artist presents us with reality and the human as it actually manifests itself, without forgetting its origin. A double meaning, therefore, in her works, encompassing being both as it really is and as it shows itself. Dziuginta Didziokaite, therefore, through her women and men, aims to reveal the real nature of reality and its determination that she paints. In this case, the dignity revealed is that of the purest feeling a human being can experience: love. Dziuginta's skill is expressed precisely when she manages to isolate the context and focus fully on the figure. The context, however, remains present and helps the artist to define the soul of the subject. Finally, the paintings of couples, where love and tenderness triumph.
