Sandra Stanionytė is internationally recognized as a transdisciplinary artist whose work seamlessly bridges performance art, installation, and architecture. In her most recent practice, she is exploring how to integrate digital technologies with traditional painting techniques to delve into the intersection of physical and digital realities. Her artistic approach spans architecture, installations, performance art, painting, and video, creating a unique fusion that transcends any single artistic medium.

Stanionytė’s paintings combine the contemplative nature of long-duration performances with the artifacts left behind, which can emerge into new visionary and meditative landscapes. Digital patterns merge with minimal, deliberate brushstrokes, forming imaginative terrains. Her use of AI-generated data and digital manipulations on canvas pushes the boundaries of traditional painting, allowing her to explore the “cross-border” between the organic and the algorithmic. Through this blend, she examines new ways of perceiving reality through the medium of painting.

Her paintings are infused with energy derived from performance art, reflecting rhythmical movements and the traces left behind. She incorporates these gestures onto the canvas, drawing from the depths of the human psyche. The intense physicality of her process, refined through her experience in performance art, leaves unique, personal marks on each piece. These works are imbued with the raw intensity of human emotion, creating a dynamic, ever-evolving visual narrative.

Stanionytė’s art is transformative and constantly evolving as she navigates the relationship between the physical and mental body, merging the subconscious with the digital imaginary and negotiating space for freedom. Her ability to express her artistic vision across various mediums results in work that is dynamic, innovative, and deeply resonant with the viewer.

Last night I dreamt of an endless expanse, a place where time seemed to stretch and fold upon itself. I found myself running through a maze of corridors, each one more twisting and convoluted than the last. The walls shifted and changed as I moved, leading me deeper into the heart of the labyrinth. I was lost, with no sense of direction, only the urgent need to keep moving.

The loneliness settled in like a cold mist, creeping into my bones. I was lonely, isolated in this strange, shifting world with nothing but the sound of my own footsteps echoing through the void. Fear clung to me, tight and unyielding, a constant reminder that I was scared of what I couldn’t see, of what I might never escape.

But then, something changed. I stopped running, stopped fighting the labyrinth, and in that stillness, I felt the world around me soften. The corridors ceased to twist and instead opened up, revealing a vast, starry expanse. I was no longer just a solitary figure lost in a maze. I became one with it all, connected to the stars, the void, and the very essence of the dream itself.

And in that moment, I found serenity. The fear and loneliness dissolved, replaced by a deep, abiding peace. I floated in that space, weightless and free, content in the knowledge that I was part of something much larger, something infinitely beautiful and eternal.
