Works

The main motive in this painter's works is interior. She mixes different scales of interior objects, direction of perspective and viewing points. By doing so, she creates illogical spaces where both real and surreal details of the interior are merged, casual and unusual objects are laying around and small figures of kids and animals are shown.

Vita Opolskytė explores the relationship between reality and fiction and encourages to doubt what is real and what is not. In her works, individual mythology and universal symbols are used as well as personal experience with common cultural incidents.
