Artist Biography:
Ugne is a Lithuanian fine art photographer based in London whose work is deeply inspired by the complexity and beauty of nature. With a background in photographic science, her practice is rooted in the tactile elegance of traditional printing methods and analog film, resulting in works that are both meditative and timeless.
Driven by an enduring fascination with nature’s intricate formations and the interconnected systems of its creation, Ugne immerses herself in the natural world during her travels. From exploring ancient cultures to observing the fragility of ecosystems, she draws inspiration from the grand yet often-overlooked wonders of the natural environment. Her photography reflects these observations, seeking to express the complexity of what is too often taken for granted a profound reminder of the threats facing the planet’s delicate balance.
Through her work, Ugne invites viewers to contemplate not only the fragile beauty of nature but also the urgency of preserving it. Her photographic expressions combine light, shadow, and abstraction, creating visual poetry that celebrates the vast and mysterious systems of life.

Baltic Pine - Limited Edition Black and White Analogue Forest Photograph
Located in London, GB
Amidst a dense, unyielding forest, twisted branches reach out like silent expressions of resilience. The Baltic pine, shaped by time and the elements, bends but does not break, adapting with a quiet defiance. Even in a harsh and limiting environment, where the sky is veiled in mist and the trees stand in rigid order, nature carves its own path—unruly, untamed, and free. The gnarled limbs, stretching in unpredictable directions, embody an organic rebellion, proving that even within constraint, there is movement, there is voice, there is becoming. Freedom is not the absence of boundaries, but the refusal to be defined by them.
