Yuna Galejeva is an abstract oil painter from Lithuania. With a background in musicology, she approaches art with a musician’s mindset, applying melodic movement and improvisation to her creations. Working with oils and acrylics on canvas, she explores color nuances and textures to craft emotive, rhythmic compositions. Intuitive pulsions lead her hand and brush into repetitive patternlike compositions that expand on the canvas, opening up the viewer’s field of vision. The touch is soft and meditative or vigorous and dynamic, according to Galejeva’s emotional inclinations. Either way, the artist welcomes us unreservedly into the intimacy of her psychological sphere, prompting a wave of instinctive associative responses.

Glejeva participated in 8 solo exhibitions and over 60 group exhibitions. She is an editor for the national radio program LRT Klasika and a lecturer on the history of baroque opera at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.

As a musicologist, I approach painting with the mindset of a musician, drawn to the world of abstraction. I strive to imbue my paintings with a dynamic, musical quality that captures the flow of time and thought.

Inspiration arises not solely from music but also from nature, literature, theater, philosophy, psychology, and more. This diverse range of influences broadens my perspective on life, allowing me to uncover essential elements—beauty, ideas, thoughts, and emotions—that cleanse the soul. My preferred medium is oils and acrylics on canvas, where I value the subtleties of color, spontaneity, and the freedom of brushstrokes. I embrace the role of color as the central figure in my compositions, emphasizing rhythm and light. This aesthetic resonates with minimalism, guiding the viewer inward toward introspection. My technique varies, alternating between soft, meditative strokes and bold, expressive ones, always serving the conceptual essence. The desire to paint is a constant presence in my life; it’s through this creative act that I find my true vitality.
