DAIVA KAIREVIČIŪTĖ. The Mermaid, 2022

Daiva Kairevičiūtė (b. 1971) is a graphic artist and photographer. Her work often employs allegory, frequently depicting female figures frozen in motion or dance. Black silhouettes, constructed through a negative principle, express both aesthetic and divine aspects alongside chthonic and demonic elements, with black symbolising mystery.
