Agne Kisonaite

As a professional artist, Agne Kisonaite transforms everyday objects into creative art & design. My work include paintings, sculptures, furniture and handmade rug designs as well as art venue staging.

Being professional artist since 2010, I’ve developed techniques that combine two-dimensional drawings with three-dimensional items to express a modern but vivid art style. My creations are inspired by themes such as consumerism and artificial beauty.
