Monika Radžiūnaitė Lithuanian, b. 1992
Kaip dėsiu į kojas, tai tau tik balutė liks / Si id pedibus tuis imponam tantum laus tibi remanebit / Jei padėsiu jį tau po kojomis tau liks tik bala // When I take off running, you'll be left with nothing but a puddle / Si id pedibus tuis imponam, tantu, 2025
Drobė, aliejus, aukso ir sidabro lakštai / Oil on canvas, gold and silver leaf
70 x 40 x 2 cm

Monika Radžiūnaitė (b. 1992, Lithuania) is a painter who earned her MA from the Painting Department at Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2021. Her work is distinguished by its reinterpretation of history, drawing from medieval and early Renaissance art, and weaving cultural references into her narrative-rich compositions.
Radžiūnaitė's paintings explore themes of foolishness and the shifting meanings of cultural symbols throughout history. By embracing ignorance, error, and the concept of foolishness as a deliberate creative strategy, she liberates herself from the need to adhere to the original or historical contexts of the images she revives. Her work challenges the possibility of accurately reconstructing the Middle Ages, questioning the limitations imposed by historical circumstances.
Through her ironic deconstruction of cultural continuity, Radžiūnaitė invites viewers to reflect on how past epochs continue to influence contemporary life, blurring the lines between past, present, and future.
