Education<br />

After her studies at the Lithuanian Art Institute in Vilnius in 1962 - 1968, she almost immediately began to interest herself in<br />

the problems of pure plastics - to analyze the power of the colour and painterly expression irrespective of the story or motif<br />

which frequent1y captures them. Today Katiliūtė is a prominent painter in blue colour. This colour presents the main object<br />

of her studies, and has been <strong>do</strong>minating throughout the whole period of the artist’s creation.<br />

Career<br />

Her first sole exhibition took place in 1977 in Vilnius and since that time her works have been presented in numerous<br />

galleries and art centres all around the world. Her paintings can be found in many public and private collections in Lithuania<br />

(Lithuanian Art Museum, National M. K. Čiurlionis Art Museum) and abroad, including Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, as well<br />

as private collections in Germany, Finland, USA, United King<strong>do</strong>m, France, Turkey, and others.<br />

Besi<strong>de</strong>s her solo exhibitions, Katiliūtė is often represented in various group exhibitions.<br />

In 1994 she received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.<br />
