Auguste Lu is a Lithuanian contemporary artist based in Japan, known for her fluid, emotionally layered paintings that explore the dualities of human existence. With a background in classical music and visual effects, her work blends technical precision with expressive spontaneity. Working primarily on the ground, Auguste paints with her hands, allowing water, acrylic, and charcoal to respond to the movement of the body.

Rooted in her nomadic experience, her paintings echo both the mist of Lithuanian fields and the spatial clarity of Japanese aesthetics. The result is abstraction that feels elemental — quiet yet charged, disciplined yet intimate. Her minimalist palettes paired with intricate shapes are a direct representation of the inner contrasts she encourages the viewer to embrace. Each piece reflects her nomadic journey of self-discovery and invites viewers into a visual dialogue between presence and possibility.

Her latest solo exhibitions in Nagoya and Tokyo’s Roppongi district, along with representing Lithuania at Pre-Expo Kyoto, reflect a growing artistic voice rooted in cross-cultural dialogue.
