Collection: Paulina Simutytė
Paulina Simutytė’s (b. 1991) creative spectrum is wide. Having a degree in musical theater (Vilnius College, 2011–2014), she creates musical roles in various performances. Painting, which the artist equates to the directing of visual theater, is dominated by abstractions that accompany associativity, dreaminess, and a unique interpretation by each observer. Travel and the works of K. G. Jung left deep traces in Paulina’s visual work, revealing small hints that later grew into significant answers in the autoanalysis of painting.
In painting, Paulina discovered a unique technique using canvas, acrylic, and artificial light. Two main colors are used – blue and yellow with a subtle pink tinge. When they merge with the light emanating from the back of the painting, an unexpected depth, changing perspective, detailed contrast, and unexpected shades are obtained.
The texture of the painting, determined by the thickness of the paint and the layers of intertwined colors, is especially revealed. By mixing the colors of fire and water, green worlds are created, which, in the dark, by introducing a ray of light as a symbol, open the door of subconscious perception more widely. The works created with this technique were presented in the art, light, and sound installation “Alchemy” (Vilnius, 2021).
The artist encourages a full experience of paintings with the paradoxical message, “draw close while moving away.” By detailing and meticulously analyzing the work, approaching it, one moves away from the whole, but the interpretations of small strokes are revealed more widely. Conversely, as the details move away, the composition of the painting appears and becomes clearer, much like the idea that crystallizes in the words of the flow of consciousness.
In search of new creative methods, in recent years Paulina began painting with her own pigments extracted from rock stones collected in the river, thus getting to know more closely the predominant color gamut of a certain place.
In the field of applied arts, Paulina creates music album covers (Delasfera’s Delasfera [2021], Uprising Tree’s Rainbow People [2017]). In collaboration with composer Andrius Šiurys, she creates graphic scores (It Feels Like I’m Driving Home [2020], Prayers from Noah’s Ark [2019]). Recently, Paulina made her debut as a theater scenographer (performance Kafka Insomnia, dir. Ž. Vingelis, Kosmos Theater and co-production of Kaunas City Chamber Theater, 2020).
In addition to the visual arts, Paulina sings, plays percussion instruments, and composes music and lyrics with the groups Uprising Tree, Delasferos, and Lazy Diamond’s Underground.
