Kamile Pikelyte ^{Emerging artist}

Artist is based in: Lithuania

Kamilė Pikelytė is a visual artist based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Her practice moves between sculpture, video, and performance, often working with discarded materials, found footage, and domestic and industrial objects. Through anthropomorphic representations and revived animistic forms, she explores humanity’s relationship with non-human life, drawing on folklore, memory, and contemporary realities.

Kamilė holds a BA in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts (2022) and an MA in Sculpture from the Vilnius Academy of Arts (2026).

In 2024, she was selected for the JCDecaux Artist Prize exhibition, presenting her work at Sapieha Palace in Vilnius. Her work has been shown internationally at Galerie21 Vorkwerft in Hamburg, Dom Gallery in Riga, and venues in Iceland including the Living Art Museum and Reykjavik Sculpture Association.

In 2022, she worked as an assistant at the Lithuanian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale. At an early stage of her career, she was invited twice as a guest lecturer at the Iceland University of the Arts. She has participated in international residency programmes including Mustarinda in Finland, Dolomiti Contemporanee in the Italian Dolomites, Lios Lab in Poland, and Performance Art Bergen in Norway. Her Mustarinda residency culminated in a site-specific public performance in Kainuu National Park.
