Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte is an artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Originally from Vilnius, Lithuania, she studied at the Glasgow School of Art, completing a BA in Communication Design and a Masters in Fine Art Practice. Kotryna’s work stems from her background in photography, now operating with a wider lens-based practice. Often research-based, her works draw from different disciplines like biology, history or plant science. In her most recent works, Kotryna is focusing on ecology, global warming and solastalgia – the climate-related anxiety. Her works have taken different shapes from moving image pieces and installations to small-run publications. Recent exhibitions and screenings include Arctic Swell at Prospekto Galerija, Vilnius, Lithuania 2023; Amateur Botanist at CCA Glasgow, Scotland 2023; Arctic Swell at Northern Photographic Centre, Oulu, Finland 2022 and Impossible Colonies at Edinburgh Art Festival, Scotland 2017.
