Nijole Stunskaite-Vilke’s Prelude unfolds like the opening breath of a story - a moment suspended between quiet anticipation and unfolding beauty. At the center, an elegant vertical form rises like a figure or a flame, adorned with blooming circular motifs that resemble celestial flowers. Their warm hues of gold, terracotta, and soft crimson radiate against the surrounding purples and violets, creating a sense of spiritual ascent.

Encircling this central path is a luminous frame of intricate linework - geometric patterns, star-like intersections, and leaf-like shapes that evoke a sanctuary or an inner chamber. These delicate structures feel both protective and ceremonial, as if the artwork were inviting the viewer into an intimate inner world. The interplay of soft, marbled textures with refined linear details enriches the composition, offering both depth and quiet elegance.

Prelude is ultimately a meditation on beginnings - the gentle moment before transformation, before music rises, before energy fully awakens. Stunskaite-Vilke captures this threshold with poetic sensitivity, blending warmth and mystery into a single harmonious vision. It is an artwork that welcomes contemplation, guiding the viewer toward a sense of readiness, openness, and calm expectation.

Nijole Stunskaite Vilke

Nijole Stunskaite-Vilke is a multidisciplinary Lithuanian artist whose work seamlessly bridges symbolism, textile artistry, poetry, and contemporary visual expression. She has spent more than four decades cultivating a distinctive artistic language rooted in Baltic mythology, spiritual symbolism, and the quiet emotive power of nature.

Working across textile art, silk painting, illustration, performance, and poetry, Stunskaite-Vilke creates artworks that feel both ancient and modern, deeply connected to cultural memory yet strikingly fresh in execution. Her hand-painted silk pieces, mythological drawings, and symbolic compositions evoke echoes of Ciurlionis, Simonis, and the broader European Symbolist tradition, while maintaining an unmistakably personal signature.

Stunskaite-Vilke is also celebrated for her contributions to Lithuanian cultural heritage. Her work has been exhibited across Lithuania and internationally, with selected collections presented in the United States.
