ABOUT

Gabrielė Aleksė (b. 1990, Kaunas, Lithuania) is a painter whose luminous oil-on-canvas works explore the interplay between material and spiritual realms, frequently employing window motifs to convey both openness and separation. By juxtaposing light, space, and memory, Aleksė invites viewers to contemplate universal questions of existence.

She earned a Bachelor’s degree in classical drawing and painting from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, Kaunas Faculty (2013), followed by a Master’s degree at the same institution in Vilnius (2015), where she refined a more conceptual approach to her practice. Aleksė has exhibited across Lithuania, France, Germany, Poland, and Croatia—most notably with solo exhibitions such as Aqua Spherica (2024) in Nîmes and Water and Stone (2024) in Palanga. Represented by Meno Parkas gallery, she has also participated in art fairs including POSITIONS Berlin (2021, 2023), and was recognized as a trending artist in the 2024 Artsy Women Artist Market Report.

Her talent has been recognized with three Lithuanian Council for Culture State Art Grants (2020, 2022, 2024) and a special mention in the 2021 Claus Michaletz Prize for Eastern European Art. Aleksė’s works reside in private collections worldwide, and she continues to live and work in Kaunas.
