Pieta

The artist has been drawing constantly for as long as she can remember. Since childhood, she was particularly interested in people's faces, she liked to draw portraits. In 1962, he graduated from the Kaunas Art School, entered the then Vilnius Art Institute, Faculty of Graphics, and graduated in 1968, majoring in book illustration.

Alina's illustrations were published in the magazine "Nemunas", she created posters for performances, illustrated pedagogical books and did pedagogical work herself - she trained young artists in an art school. In addition to these works, the author constantly painted herself. Tried various painting techniques, but pastel is the most comfortable to the hand. The author's works attract and fascinate with the depth of concentration, sense of mystery, authentic Christian religiosity and reflections of spiritual experiences. Subtle, sacred, iconographic - in the modern perspective of art, these are quite rare descriptions, so Alina's works make an impression and respond to the inner experiences of many people. With sensitive strokes, the artist has become a spiritual reality, not avoiding the experience of suffering and sadness, but immersing herself in the light of the supernatural, she testifies to hope, faith, meaning, tenderness.

The iconographic paintings, being sufficiently static in their expression, with their internal content invite introspection and lively dialogue - they send a message. Carrying an inner message, the author's works have traveled to various countries - Poland, Switzerland, Australia, Colombia, the United States of America. In Lithuania, the author has participated in several exhibitions with other authors, organized two personal exhibitions "I believe" and "I'm looking for your face". She has donated several of her works to the Kaunas Seminary of Priests. Alina's paintings painted in pastel technique are very suitable for reproduction, so a high-quality reproduction of the painting reliably conveys the inner message of the painting to those who are ready to hear it.
