"Secrets of the City" (2023) Drawing by Ilona Kuliešienė

Ilona Kuliešienė, artist photographer and designer, reveals her unique artistic world through a lens steeped in mystery and transformation. Born from a passion for photography and drawn to the world of criminal investigations, she has merged these two passions to create a distinctive style that captures the imagination.

One morning, as the city was waking up, Ilona captured many urban images, but they didn't seem attractive to her. Her love for mystery then pushed her to breathe an enigmatic touch into each of her photos. At night, the moon and the stars land on each image, and thus, his works slowly metamorphose into a new world. It is this mysterious moment of metamorphosis where the sculptural contours become shadows of silhouettes and where the intensity of the colors, as if drained, allows the colored darkness to free itself.

In her art, Ilona invites observers on a dreamlike journey where reality and mystery blend harmoniously. His photographs are transformed into tableaux vivants, where urban elements come alive with an aura of secrecy. Through her mastery of photography and drawing, she creates a captivating symbiosis between the real and the imaginary.

His artistic work demonstrates a deep understanding of light, shadow and color, revealing a vision of the world tinged with curiosity and introspection. Through her lens, Ilona Kuliešienė takes us into a world where reality dissolves into strangeness, offering a fresh look at everyday life through the prism of her fascinating imagination.
