Born in Lithuania, Kėdainiai, 1980, and based in Switzerland since 2015, Mikliušienė’s path to art was not straightforward. Trained as an attorney-at-law and specialized in intellectual property and competition law, she spent nearly a decade analyzing human behavior, power dynamics, and social structures before turning to art as a means of making an impact. Her transition from law to art marked not only a career shift but a philosophical one – from interpreting facts and serving clients to searching for hidden truths and asking for the right questions.

Her work draws from diverse sources: neuroscience, philosophy, pre-history, cultures, mythology, and life sciences. These intersections inform her investigation into gender archetypes, societal mechanisms, and humanity’s relationship to nature and technology. Through both traditional oil painting and experimental materials such as glass, metal, water, and biomaterials, she constructs unsettling reflections on the visible and invisible forces shaping our existence. Reality is thinner than it seems. 

Mikliušienė’s practice is rooted in responsibility. For her, art is a way to see through inherited narratives and provoke dialogue about the complexities of being human. So—what do you see?

She lives and works in Richterswil, Canton Zürich, Switzerland, and in 2025 started Fine Arts bachelor studies at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art.
