Potentiality explores the relationship between who we are and who we are becoming.
We often live with a sense of untapped potential - knowing that there is more to us than our current shape. This piece reflects the unfolding of that energy, formed through movement, risk, and the courage to enter new environments that challenge and reshape us.
Through layered textures and unfinished forms, the painting expresses the space between who we were and who we are becoming - how every moment outside our comfort zone shapes the future self, and brings that latent potential into motion.

behind the scenes
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.
