The images of Erika Petunovienė are inspired by the themes of universal dualism (masculine and feminine origins), of light, of constant dynamic movement, of the main human emotions - peace, joy and love. The themes of paintings also show that the author was also inspired by harmony, rhythm and flow of music. The artist's work combines two of our influences - external (human actions, nature, external events) and internal (thoughts, feelings, emotions, mood and behavior). This universe, which contains both the present and the invisible worlds, as the cosmic soul, is infused with energy both in nature and in human life, Erika Petunovienė is united and captured in paintings.
The color used by the author reflects today's humans environment, which is rich in bright colors, shine and contradictory stiffness. The abundance of everyday negative information, the alienation of people-to-people relationships, the rapid pace of life, and stress, all this stirred up her desire to clear and embellish our world with art. By choosing different tools and techniques, Erika Petunovienė creates paintings on topical issues, highlighting not the problem, but revealing the ways of solving it in the paintings, and calling to turn to each other, to stop, to feel, to find time for himself and a pabulum for our souls.
