Echoes of Presence I
Detail · oil on canvas
Light is what I keep returning to: the hour it arrives, the way it settles on water, and what stays once it’s gone.
New series · still being painted
Buildings look eternal. At least next to us.
People pass through these paintings as if surfacing from the past: no sound, no weight, no shadow.
At noon on the square, only one child in red cast a shadow. I narrowed my eyes and could no longer tell which of us was really there.

I’m Viktorija Starygina. I paint in oil and draw in graphite. My works carry a mark rather than a name, the same one for years. Spoken aloud, it becomes VIKTĖ.
For years I was a print designer and art director at Lithuanian magazines, Cosmopolitan Lithuania among them. Since 2011 it has been painting and drawing.
I paint in the studio and outdoors. What pulls me most is the point where what I see starts turning into abstraction.
