The creative process of Marija Rinkevičiūtė-Špakauskė is accompanied by explorations of materiality, leading to abstract expression and attention to memory. Her recent works are full of coincidences, from found objects to intuitive searches for wax surfaces.
“I experience a painting as a complex organism that functions as a set of experiences in a particular space and time. For this reason, I see my works as echoes of momentary experiences, echoes that I cannot find words to describe,” says Marija about her artistic practice.
Marija Rinkevičiūtė-Špakauskė (born 1993) is a painter splitting her time between Brussels and Vilnius. She received her BA degree in Monumental Art from the Vilnius Academy of Arts and an MA degree in Painting from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. She has actively participated in group and solo exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad.
