July – August residents – Erika Povilonytė and Adriana Moreno

Erika Povilonytė is a Lithuanian visual artist based in France. Her artistic education began in her home country and later unfolded at the National School of Art and Design in Dijon, as well as at the Brera Academy in Milan. 

Her practice revolves around the notion of overlay—the intertwining of different temporalities, perspectives, or materials. The artist seeks to trace the links connecting the archaic to the eternal and to explore the tension between fragility and monumentality. Particularly drawn to paper, she investigates this material through painting and installation. 

Erika Povilonytė’s work has been exhibited in venues such as MO Museum (Vilnius, LT), KKKC Exhibition Hall (Klaipėda, LT), Galerie Interface (Dijon, FR), Musée de l’Hospice Saint-Roch (Issoudun, FR), and Livart (Montreal, CA), among others.

Adriana Moreno’s work focuses on the codes of representation and the translation of ways to understand nature and culture through drawing and printmaking. She graduated in Visual Arts from the University of São Paulo (2015), where she completed her master’s research (2019) and is currently pursuing a doctorate.

In recent years, she has participated in exhibitions at Église Saint-Philibert (Dijon, France, 2024), Centro Universitário Mariantonia (2022), and Galeria Pilar (2021). She was nominated for the Pipa Prize in 2021. She has participated in artist residencies at ENSA-DIJON (Dijon, France, 2024), the Tamarind Institute of Lithography (Albuquerque, USA, 2022), and La Ceiba Gráfica (Coatepec, Mexico, 2016).
