A Harmonious Dance with Nature
Dalia Blauensteiner, a Lithuanian-born artist, weaves a
delicate tapestry between her creative expression and
the natural world. Her large-format abstract paintings,
executed with an almost old-master technique, invite
viewers into a realm where calmness and movement coexist.
It is within these canvases that we find echoes of sky and
forest, rendered with a sensitivity that transcends mere
representation.
The Language of Color: Blauensteiner’s palette is a symphony
of emotions. Each hue carries a story, an imprint of her
experiences and inner landscape. Antonella Iozzo aptly
observes that “each painting shows aspects and facets of the
artist’s personality.” Indeed, Blauensteiner’s choice of colors
is not arbitrary; it is an intimate dialogue with her emotional
world. As we gaze upon her works, we glimpse the harmonious
resonance between her soul and the pigments she wields.
From Lithuania to Krems: Born in 1962, Blauensteiner
embarked on her artistic journey at Siauliai University,
where she studied painting. Her Lithuanian roots infused
her early works with a sense of folklore and tradition. As an
Artist and Designer in a Culture Centre, she nurtured her
craft while also guiding others, a role that would shape her
artistic ethos.
In 2003, destiny led her to Krems, Austria, where she now
resides. Here, amidst the vineyards and Danube River,
Blauensteiner found fertile ground for her creativity. She
established the DALIKO gallery in the Egelsee district
alongside collaborator Heinz Körner, a space that pulsates
with artistic energy and hosts exhibitions that bridge
cultures and perspectives.
