Andrėja Maiburovaitė (born in 2000, Mažeikiai) is a Lithuanian artist, currently based in The Hague, Netherlands. Andrėja holds a bachelors in Painting and is now pursuing her masters in Artistic Research. In 2024 the artist was granted an allowance for beginner artists by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and a special prize from Contour Art Gallery.
Her practice is rooted in attraction to crude oil and its transformation into a spectacle through painting. Personal, socio-cultural, economical and the everyday are revealed in the autobiographical nature of Andrėjas’ work.
Her work consists of fragmented memories, archival materials, and a sentimental childhood perspective on scarcity. By intertwining existential themes of loss, familial histories, and the passing of time, Andrėja reflects on the ethics of human relationships and their impermanence. Through her artistic practice, she manipulates visual language to create poetic connections between the banal and the tragic. At the heart of her work lies a search for meaning in the mundane—an exploration of how personal lamentations can be transformed into accessible expressions of universal experience.
