SetP Stanikas is the collaborative identity of Lithuanian artist couple Svajonė and Paulius Stanikas, who are celebrated for their multidisciplinary approach, seamlessly blending sculpture, painting, photography, and installation. Together, they create works that delve into themes of existentialism, transformation, and the darker facets of the human experience. Known for their provocative and immersive aesthetic, the Stanikas duo draws inspiration from classical literature, mythology, and personal narratives, resulting in art that challenges viewers to confront intense emotional landscapes.

Svajonė and Paulius Stanikas have earned international acclaim and have represented Lithuania at some of the world's most prestigious art events, including the Venice Biennale, where they captivated audiences with their visceral and haunting style. Their work has also been exhibited at renowned institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Liverpool Biennial, and the White Box Gallery in New York. These accomplishments underscore their influence in the contemporary art world, where their fusion of the classical and the contemporary resonates with audiences worldwide.

In their piece Inferno, the Stanikas couple channels the imagery of Dante’s Divine Comedy, using the concept of Hell as a lens to explore complex psychological and existential themes. Inferno is a monumental, visceral work that intertwines classical allusions with modern concerns around suffering, mortality, and redemption. Rather than a straightforward representation of Dante’s Hell, this piece serves as a powerful reimagining, where materiality and emotional weight collide to evoke chaos, despair, and ultimately, transformation.

The scale and material manipulation in Inferno are crafted to envelop viewers, immersing them in the overwhelming narrative force of the piece. Beyond its somber tones, the work gestures toward transcendence, echoing the Stanikas’ broader exploration of human fragility and resilience. Through Inferno, Svajonė and Paulius Stanikas invite viewers into a timeless meditation on the human condition, merging elements of the past and present to prompt introspection and emotional engagement.
