Julija Skudutytė (b.1995) graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts with a Master’s degree in Monumental Painting and actively participates in exhibitions and art projects in Lithuania and abroad. The artist has already held several exhibitions and expositions and has been awarded prizes for book illustrations, paintings, and expositions.
At the international contemporary art fair ArtVilnius23, Skudutytė was chosen by the jury as the best young artist at the fair.
Best known for her watercolors, Skudutytė is not tied to one genre. Her work includes still life, interior compositions reflecting everyday life, self-portraits, architectural and natural motifs, and installations. In her work, she delves into the relationship between human beings and everyday objects, looking for paradoxes, where uselessness and usefulness intertwine, where spirituality and consumerism meet. Her search is not limited to objects but explores her own materiality and usefulness, which leads to works of art in which rubbish turns into beings and people become things.
