Inga Kaupelytė
Inspired by the energy and vibrations that form the world, Inga's signature style is a language of brushstrokes emulating the flow.
In her figurative paintings, she often portrays women, interiors and landscapes, characterised by selective colors, lines, and sometimes surreal objects and staging. She combines recurring objects in different energy states, such as a female portrait, her Alter Ego, Ingaga, and spaces that are composed by a singular vanishing point view. In her works Inga explores the relationship between individuals and their surroundings. The mutual influence we have on places and the profound impact of places on us.
Born in 1983 in Lithuania, Inga studied painting from the age of 12, and later she graduated as a media artist from the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts. Inga has lived in several countries across Europe, where she studied different art techniques, and has traveled extensively, getting inspiration from multiple cultures. Her work has been exhibited in Amsterdam, Vilnius, London and Mexico, and received numerous awards. Her artworks have been acquired by private collectors. The artist currently works and lives in Barcelona outskirts, Spain.
Inga invites the viewer to embrace the power of the flow, to witness the frozen moments of existence, and to embark on a transformative journey that transcends the boundaries of the everyday and us. Through her art, she strives to uplift and inspire, immersing the viewer in a realm where the extraordinary becomes the norm, and the vibrant energy of the universe dances before your eyes.
