Marika Junikajtes returned to painting after a deeply personal loss in 2024, discovering that paint could hold what words could not. Through layered blacks, fluid pours, and precise brushwork, her portraits explore dignity, vulnerability, and quiet strength. Each face carries stillness, resilience, and emotional depth, inviting viewers into a slow and personal dialogue that unfolds over time.

In the first article of our new series, we feature five women painters who approach landscapes as more than just places on a map. Through watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media, they capture the feeling of weather, light, and memory in ways that invite us to pause and look a little longer.
