Monika radžiūnaitė's Paintings reiterpret medieval visual culture, tracing how a single image accumulates new and often contradictory meanings as it passes through history.
Monika Radžiūnaitė is a Lithuanian painter whose work draws on medieval and early Renaissance imagery to explore how images acquire new meanings over time. Rather than reconstructing historical sources, she deliberately misreads them, treating mistranslation not as a flaw but as a method through which inherited narratives can be reconsidered.
Error lies at the centre of Radžiūnaitė's practice. Her paintings trace how images are copied and reinterpreted until they slip free of their original contexts, revealing history as something continually rewritten rather than passively preserved. The Middle Ages interest her precisely because of their proximity to the present - their parallels with contemporary life functioning not as historical curiosities but as instruments for reading where culture is heading. Dense with ornament and medieval iconography, her works combine natural and imitation silver, pressing visions of an artistic future into the surface of inherited forms.
They ask, ultimately, on whose authority we ever came to believe an image in the first place.
Based in Vilnius, Monika Radžiūnaitė completed both her BA and MA in Painting at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, graduating in 2021. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions across Lithuania and internationally, including MO Museum (Vilnius), Vienna Contemporary (Vienna), Hotel Warszawa Art Fair (Warsaw), and Zuzeum Art Centre (Riga).

ARTISTIC PRACTICE
Monika Radžiūnaitė approaches medieval visual culture not as a historical style to be reconstructed, but as a language that continues to change with every generation that encounters it. Working with illuminated manuscripts, Christian iconography, saints' lives, legends, and early Renaissance painting, she returns to familiar images only to discover how unstable they become once removed from their original context.
Central to her practice is the idea that misunderstanding can be productive. Deliberate mistranslations, inaccurate Latin, and invented readings are not corrections of the past but contemporary interpretations of it. Rather than searching for historical certainty, Radžiūnaitė is interested in the distance that separates us from the cultures we inherit, and in the meanings that emerge within that distance.
Her paintings draw on the decorative language of manuscripts, stained glass, and devotional painting while introducing humour and deliberate contradiction. Saints, dragons, fools, and hybrid creatures inhabit richly ornamented compositions in which medieval imagery is neither preserved nor abandoned, but continuously reimagined. The questions these images once carried remain unresolved, returning in new forms with every retelling.
For Radžiūnaitė, each painting proposes another reading of an inherited image—less a reconstruction of the past than an argument with it.
