Paulina Domašauskaitė Lithuanian, b. 2000
Paulina Domašauskaitė creates paintings in which structure and gesture continually reshape one another.
Paulina Domašauskaitė is a Lithuanian artist working across painting, glass, and metal. Her practice begins with painting as a physical act, where layers and incisions become a continual negotiation between colour and structure, allowing the surface to retain the record of its own making. Rather than treating painting as a finished image, Domašauskaitė approaches it as a process of construction. Precise forms and spontaneous marks remain in tension, never fully resolving into a single image. Drawing on Japanese aesthetics and close observation of the natural world, her paintings move between abstraction and recognisable form while allowing memory to surface through the act of painting itself.
Paulina Domašauskaitė completed both her BA and MA in Painting at the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
Paulina Domašauskaitė is represented by Galerija VARTAI.

ARTISTIC PRACTICE
Paulina Domašauskaitė understands painting as a place where observation and imagination continually reshape one another. Natural forms and Japanese visual traditions enter her work not as images to be reproduced, but as starting points that are gradually transformed through the act of painting.
The image develops through a process of revision rather than illustration. Layers are built and interrupted until structure and gesture arrive at a temporary balance. What remains visible is not only the finished composition but the sequence of decisions that brought it into being, allowing the painting to retain its own history.
Although her paintings often move between abstraction and recognisable form, they resist settling into either. Instead, Domašauskaitė allows images to remain open, where precise silhouettes coexist with painterly uncertainty and empty space carries as much weight as painted surface.
Her work with glass and metal extends these questions beyond the canvas. Across media, she is interested in how material itself can hold tension without resolving it, allowing each work to remain open to change even in its finished state.
