  • Biography
    Hello, I'm Junija (Yuna) Galejeva, a painter and musicologist, based in Vilnius, Lithuania, where I work as an editor for the national radio program LRT Klasika and lecture on the history of baroque opera at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. I'm used to hearing from people that they see music in my paintings. As a musicologist, I know the language of music "from within," and I approach painting with a musician's mentality. That's probably why abstraction appeals to me more. It is important to me to keep the artwork open to interpretation by the viewer so that there is something new to see each time. Just as we listen to music, we hear it differently each time and it is always very personal. I strive to make the painting dynamic, with a musical movement that expresses a flow of time and thought.
    But it is not only music that inspires me. Rather, music is a way of thinking. I am inspired by nature, literature, theatre, exhibitions, philosophy, psychology, science fiction, and myths. It enables me to view the world more broadly, as though from the side, to find some really important things in daily life—beauty, ideas, thoughts and emotions—that purify the soul. The main goal is to express thoughts and feelings, to convey an emotional state and to evoke associations.
    I do my paintings in oils, acrylics mainly on canvas. Halftones, nuances of colour, and the ability of colours to express emotions are very important to me. As well as spontaneity and freedom of brushstrokes. I like soft, meditative brushstrokes and thin layers that connect and overlap. Colour is the protagonist of all my paintings. Colours, rhythms and lights are free from material objects. I like the repetitive patterns. The pulsation of colours and lights. It sounds like minimalism (minimal music). Unfocused elements help to reflect the eye, making the viewer look more inward, into their soul, than outward.
    I use both soft and bold, expressive brushstrokes. It depends on the concept. The technique always serves an idea. I cannot say that I only pick up the brush when something has inspired me or "hit me." I feel the urge to paint in my right hand and somewhere in the scruff area all the time, and if I don't paint for more than three weeks, I get irritable or melancholic. It's only when I paint that I feel alive.
    I graduated from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (master's degree), Savickas Art School, and Kunigunda's Dineikaitė's painting studio "Baltas kubas." I participate in charity activities and group exhibitions as a member of the Lithuanian group of painters "Devyni vėjai."
    I have so far participated in over 60 exhibitions in 
    Vilnius, Trakai, Nida, Palanga, Mažeikiai (Lithuania),
    Milan, Rome, Villasanta, Veroli, Bologna (Italy),
    Fuerteventura (Spain),

    FOCUSING ON PLASTIC ELEMENTS TO REPRESENT THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF FAUNA AND FLORA

    Galeria Azur Miami is proud to present "Act III: Points of Inspiration," a captivating group exhibition featuring diverse artists from around the world. Opening on April 25th, this immersive showcase invites viewers to explore the intricate relationship between art, nature, and sustainability.

    Event: THINKING TO THE FUTURE

    Dates: 6 Mar 2024 - 16 Mar 2024

    Venue: 3F Art Gallery, 58 Rue des Trois Frères, 75018 Paris An

    An Aboriginal proverb recites the following words: "Take care of the Earth and the Earth will take care of you, destroy the Earth and the Earth will destroy you", an important thought from which to start for careful reflection. Taking care of the environment is a topic of great importance and extremely current, how can we talk about sustainability and how can we be sustainable? Surely the first step to protect the environment is to know it and get as close as possible to Nature, how often do we come into contact with it? The selected artists will have the opportunity to get closer to the elements of nature, representing them as they see fit and how they interpret the environment, choosing the tools they deem best. Colors and materials, whatever they are, will be the protagonists together with the ideas of each artist. An exhibition that pays attention to sustainability, to the sensitivity of the artists and the observer, where art becomes the starting point for careful reflection.

    Event: Melancholy

    Dates: 12 Oct 2023 - 19 Oct 2023

    Venue: BURO, Via Sant'Isaia, 57d, 40122 Bologna BO

    Curated by VANESSA VITI & ELISABETTA ELIOTROPIO

    “Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.” Aristotele

    Sitting with his hand holding his head and looking down at the ground. The diagnosis is clear, it is the 'melancholic'. It is revealed through these details, always the same despite the ages and disparate backgrounds. Artists, poets, musicians always intent on observing the melancholic and yet they themselves often perfectly impersonate the role. [...] Melancholy invokes an emotional sphere that is as impervious as it is fascinating, in which everyone has a way of reflecting a side of his or her existence. A psychophysical character that has always been the character considered closest to the artist. [...]
    On the occasion of the exhibition Melancholy we are curious to see the effects of melancholy by international artists. To ultimately come to recognize, in the postures and put-on looks of others, a bit of ourselves.

    Event: Noon-chi

    Dates: 24 Sep 2023 - 7 Oct 2023

    Venue: Palazzo Velli Expo, Piazza di S. Egidio, 10, 00153 Roma RM, Italy

    Italian Art Center Studioarte22, in collaboration with K-art International Art Center from South Korea, is delighted to announce Noon-chi, a contemporary art exhibition as part of the Korean Art Fair. The exhibition will take place at the important Palazzo Velli Expo, located in the heart of Rome: Trastevere.

    Noon - chi is a concept from Korea, where art from around the world can mirror itself.

    Noon - chi means knowing how to intuit others, understanding the moods of those around us, capturing the thoughts and emotions of others by looking beyond appearances.

    Noon-chi, curated by Beatrice Cordaro, aims to bring together Eastern and Western art, blending different stylistic languages and artistic philosophies.

    Event: Colours and sounds

    Dates: 25 Aug 2023 - 30 Aug 2023

    Venue: Galerie MS, 74 Rue d'Estimauville, 76600 Le Havre, France

    Curated by Vanessa Viti-Music by Alessio Calicchia

    “Colour is the key, the eye is the gavel, the soul is the piano with many strings” (Vassili Kandinsky)

    The “Colours and sounds” exhibition aims to be a unique experience, a concert of music and colours. The protagonists of the exhibition will be the artists, their works and the music connected to them; the user will live the visit of the exhibition as a sensory experience in which sight and hearing will play an important role, they will be the ones to pluck the strings of emotions.

    Event: Psycroma

    Dates: 22 Jul 2023 - 14 Aug 2023

    Venue: Crystal sala d'arte, Via Casalunga, 2, 03029 Veroli FR, Italy

    Psycroma 2023 continues with an international artist: Junija Galejeva. The Crystal sala d'arte exhibition will host the Lithuanian painter from Saturday 22 July to Sunday 6 August. She will present her works created using the oil on canvas technique. The exhibition is curated by Vanessa Viti.

    The combination of painting and music is an essential and vital part of Junija's work, so much so that the artist herself explains that for her 'painting means composing music on canvas'. All this leaves the viewer free to interpret Galejeva's paintings according to their own feelings and the emotions they arouse at that moment. The artist leaves room for free interpretation of her works, the spectator must feel free to see and hear what he or she wants, just as when listening to music, everyone hears it differently and the emotions it arouses are often different.

    Event: Thinking to the Future

    Dates: 27 May 2023 - 2 Jun 2023

    Venue: ART GALLERY KUJAKU, Souseikan 1F, 2-5-18 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan

    An exhibition born to reflect on the climate emergency, the role that each of us plays to contribute to a functional change in which every single individual in his small way can decide to implement. Raise awareness through culture, artists and their art to cultural change. In this exhibition we talk about sustainability, environment, development through the works of some selected artists who through their artistic language are able to make us go through a reunion with the elements of nature, with the vibrations that arise within us when we feel and perceive the language of each individual artist, sensations that take us back to our origins, but which allow us to reconnect with the world by creating progress, evolution, empathy between human beings. - artcurator Giulia Zanesi

    Event: LOVE Yourself Art Exhibition

    Dates: 2 Feb 2023 - 28 Feb 2023

    Venue: Art showrooms, Via Luigi Mangiagalli 7, Milano

    When art and fashion meet, new languages born where shapes, colours and geometries become the expression and evocation of great works. Often the languages of art and fashion contaminating each other give life to new patterns and styles. In recent years we have witnessed a strong intertwining between the two worlds, works of art become patterns for the fabrics of clothes, or even become
    points of inspiration in the creation of entire collections. Investigate the colours, shapes or pure abstraction of contemporary art that can be of inspiration and how it can connect with the world of fashion. Discover the liaison made up of uniqueness, study of details, search for beauty that exists between the works of art of contemporary artists and the design works of great stylists....
