“Aperture” takes its name from the small opening of a camera lens that controls how much light enters. A narrow circle, yet it holds the vastness of everything we can see before capturing a photo.
That is the essence of this work:
how something limited can feel infinite.
How through such a small frame, the entire world is revealed and you realize that there is just so much you dont know yet.
The work unfolds in soft washes of slate blue, grey, olive, and sand — pigments blending and dispersing like mist across a quiet landscape. A translucent veil of water and pigment creates a depth that feels both near yet unreachable.
When placed on a wall, Aperture doesn’t dominate the space — it transforms it. Morning light draws out its cool hues, turning the room calm and expansive. In the evening, the deeper tones emerge, grounding the atmosphere in stillness. It’s the kind of artwork that shifts with your day and your state of mind — a quiet mirror for your inner world.

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.
