Through an intuitive
process of making marks and placing shapes Lastauskaite achieves an alluring balance in
her compositions even though the placement of the visual information is often asymmetrical
and without pattern. Her selection of colours and materials she plays with – most often
synthetic polymer paints, oil sticks, crayon and pencils – juxtapose or interlace leading to
sumptuous works that immediately engage the eye.
Since her first exhibition in1996, Lastauskaite has had 6 Solo Exhibitions in Melbourne, two
in Europe, in Finalnd and Lithuania, and has participated in over 20 group exhibitions.
