Liepa Sofija Vareikaitė Emerging artist

Artist is based in: Lithuania

Liepa Sofija Vareikaitė (b. 1995) is a Lithuanian visual artist and designer working across video, installation, print, sound, and text. She graduated cum laude with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts (Graphics) from the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2025. Her practice centers on emotional archaeology—excavating personal and cultural memory through fragile visual systems, unstable narratives, and interdisciplinary form. In her work, Vareikaitė merges analogue and digital techniques to explore themes of trauma, identity fragmentation, and the tension between silence and exposure. She often constructs installations where voice, image, material, and space interact—creating environments that embody unresolved emotional states rather than resolve them. She has held three solo exhibitions (5 Malūnai Gallery, Menų spaustuvė, and A. and M. Miškiniai Library Gallery) and participated in over 15 group exhibitions in the past three years across Lithuania and internationally, including at Vilnius Graphic Art Center, GAFU Gallery (Czech Republic), KKKC Exhibition Halls, and Artists’ Association Gallery (Lithuania, Vilnius). Her video and installation work Re-Type Type Type received the Grand Prize (Other Media) at BookVision 2025 in Ostrava. She was also awarded 1st place in the MKČ reinterpretation prize by the Vilnius Academy of Arts and Vilnius Auction. In 2024–2025, she received a creative research grant from the Lithuanian Research Council for a project exploring graphic notation as both visual and musical language. Her artist’s book, developed as part of her thesis, will be published by the Vilnius Academy of Arts Publishing House
