Danguole Serstinskaja is a drybrush painting master from Lithuania who focuses on hyperrealistic style
Danguole is a lifelong artist whose journey spans from academic precision to diverse contemporary styles, including hyperrealism, abstract expressionism, fantasy, and pop art.
After creating hundreds of works featuring landscapes, animals, and people, she discovered and refined a rare technique that perfectly aligns with her artistic vision — to portray both animals and humans with profound depth, accuracy, and emotion. This unique technique involves applying oil paint to paper using a dry brush. Having mastered this demanding method, Danguole gained exceptional control over shading and detail, allowing her to build her works gradually, layer by layer, until every nuance is realized. The result is striking: artwork with smooth tonal transitions, hyperrealistic detail, and such clarity and contrast that it can often be mistaken for a photograph.
Danguole's artworks are held in private collections across the globe, including by a gallery in Norway, and have been featured in numerous international publications. She actively participates in prestigious art competitions worldwide and has earned an impressive total of 83 international art awards to date.
