AGLAJA RAY

Eglė Tamulytė (aka Aglaja Ray) is a Lithuanian visual artist working across painting, installation, and illustration. Originally rooted in speculative themes around theology, artificial intelligence, and the posthuman body, her practice has shifted toward a quieter, more embodied inquiry into healing and inner life. Her current painting series, REST, explores rest, overstimulation, and emotional repair through nature-based symbolism and soft, contemplative compositions. Inspired by her mother’s garden, poetry, and dreamlike states, she uses canvas, acrylics and spray paints to depict reclining figures surrounded by botanical forms. These works reflect both personal and collective fatigue, proposing stillness as resistance in a hyperproductive world. Eglė’s process is intuitive yet research-based, often beginning with writing or dreams and evolving through layering, erasure, and memory. Her art aims to hold space for slowness, sensory attention, and spiritual depth.

In 2019-2025 the artist was exploring the intersection of contemporary art, theology, and technology. Her work examined faith, artificial intelligence, and the posthuman condition, merging science fiction, comics, and spiritual texts with abstraction. Through murals, installations, and performances, often using UV-reactive materials and immersive environments, she reinterpreted Biblical themes of eternity, resurrection, and spiritual liberation within contemporary debates on transhumanism and ethical AI. Her surreal cyborgs and speculative beings questioned humanity’s evolving relationship with technology, faith, and mortality, creating a dialogue between tradition and innovation in an era of rapid transformation.

During the period of 2007 - 2019 the was deeply involved in the underground art scene, creating alternative comics, publishing d.i.y. zines and participating in artists curated art shows both in Lithuania and around Europe.

What does it mean to seek eternity in an age of artificial immortality? Where does faith stand when technology reshapes the human condition?
