Realization Glow is the final piece in the collection Duality: Our Divided Selves. While each painting in the series explores a core human contradiction - community and individualism, grief and gratitude, freedom and responsibility - this work brings it all together.
It symbolizes the light we uncover when we stop resisting these contradictions and begin to accept them as part of us. The flowing shapes and layered textures reflect both tension and release, capturing the emotional weight of inner conflict and the quiet glow that follows clarity.
This piece is about integration - the peace that comes not from resolution, but from embracing life’s dualities, and recognizing the growth that struggle makes possible.

Production Method
Auguste incorporates generous amounts of water, blending inks and acrylics to guide the natural flow of the composition. As the water slowly evaporates, she anchors the work with layers of chalk and charcoal, grounding the painting in a balance of movement and permanence.
Working predominantly on the ground, her large-scale pieces are shaped by sweeping bodily gestures, transforming the act of painting into a physical performance — where creation itself becomes an event.

About Auguste
Auguste Lu (@augusteluart) is a Lithuanian contemporary artist based in Japan, known for her fluid, emotionally layered paintings that explore the dualities of human existence. With a background in classical music and visual effects, her work blends technical precision with expressive spontaneity, translating life’s contrasts into elegant, thought-provoking forms.
Influenced by her Baltic heritage and Scandinavian sensibility, Auguste works with unconventional materials such as acrylic ink, coal, and chalk. Her minimalist palettes paired with intricate shapes are a direct representation of the inner contrasts she encourages the viewer to embrace. Each piece reflects her nomadic journey of self-discovery and invites viewers into a visual dialogue between light and shadow, presence and possibility.
