Going Back To My Roots is a solo presentation of large, shaped paintings and miniature abstract paintings by Diana Savostaite (Studio 5-236). The exhibition title refers to Diana finding an integral connection between mind, body, and the surrounding world.

Throughout her practice, Diana takes inspiration from the observation of the natural world, and absorption of everything that she sees, hears, or feels. Her creative practice seeks to express that which is invisible by eye but what can be experienced or felt, by grasping the subtle moments of the present and feeling it through body sensations. 

Since 2019, Diana has been broadening her artwork boundaries through introducing large format shaped canvas formats, as well as experimenting with mixed mediums, textures, collages. Experimental canvas shapes become directives to Diana’s painting, they seem to be in a constant motion and highlight the feeling of ever-changing nature, the flow of energies between inside and out.

In her latest work, Diana has begun to incorporate embroidery collages. Whilst growing up in the Lithuanian countryside, embroidery occupied a large part of her life. Adding them to paintings is like weaving in a little piece of Lithuanian heritage, something that is very personal and deeply rooted from her early days.
