Aistė Stancikaitė is a Lithuanian artist, living and working in Berlin. Her practice centers around pencil drawing with a focus on detail and texture, maintaining a careful balance between abstract and figurative.

Aistė’s work has been recognised with several awards, including the ADC Annual Awards and Communication Arts, as well as exhibited internationally.
"
Combining detailed pencil drawing with photography can really help to create broad, multi-layered narratives.
"
In my work, naturalistic proportions, elements of the present-day and fashion act as a reminder of real life, yet the carefully chosen styling and colour create a new world. I let the viewer question whether they are seeing something that truly exists or purely works of fiction.
"
By introducing bold colour, abstract patterns and unusual crops into my drawings, I'm inviting the viewer to explore the image without any preconceptions of subject matter.
"
I love finding parallels between the human body and nature, bringing them together to create unexpected compositions.

I believe that gender balance and equality means the right to truly be yourself. I chose to move away from the stereotypical signs of gender identification to show what's really underneath it all - a human being.
