Appias Albina (Jevgenija Jones) is a Lithuanian-born visual artist and visual director working across cultural and spatial settings. Her work develops material-trace based images, shaped through exhibitions and, in selected cases, realised within commissioned and public environments.
At the core of my work is a tactile way of seeing. I approach texture as evidence — a trace of contact, time, and material presence. Abstract imprints function as carriers of memory: the form is held in common, while the visual textures — like scent — activate a distinct layer of sensation and association in each viewer. This approach is grounded in attention to what remains — surfaces, fragments, and marks that hold ecological and human time with clarity.
My visual language is built through carbon monotype, an authorial method I developed as the foundation of my studio and site-responsive work.
My works function as coherent visual systems that can take form within architectural, curatorial, and public frameworks. I work as the lead visual author, shaping the internal logic of images as they develop into environments, installations, and spatial applications.
A key large-scale realisation of this practice was with Ignitis Group, developed as a commissioned visual environment. Selected collaborations and professional contexts include UNESCO (project via Yarza Twins); Hijos de Rivera (project via Yarza Twins); the Lithuanian National Museum of Art; Šviesa Publishing House; and Zenitechas.
Alongside studio work, I share my methodology through lectures, workshops, and residencies within contemporary printmaking and visual art communities. Based between Lithuania and Spain and am open to international projects in the cultural field.
