‘Burning through the veil of sorrow, with a focused gaze towards the beyond. I made “Through” in the winter of 2022 as a guide towards the light in difficult times’ – Simona Orentaité

Simona Orentaitė (b. 1998) is a Lithuanian, London-based artist creating intuitive, multi-layered paintings in oils and watercolours. Her work embarks on navigating the unknown through ambiguous and nebulous forms, which appear to her through time in brushstrokes and stains of layered paint. As a result of her meditative process, Simona’s paintings remain indeterminate and unfixed. The figures in her work coalesce with one another and the environment – evoking a shared eternal consciousness, and the impermanence of material form.

Simona is currently undertaking a BA in Fine Art at the City and Guilds of London Art School. She has exhibited her paintings in numerous shows, such as Purslane and Liliya Art Gallery.
