Greta Haga (she/her, b. 1989) is a Lithuanian artist based in London, UK. Working across photography, graphic design, mixed media, painting, and printmaking, Haga explores the fragile boundary between innocence and violence, the tension between vulnerability and resilience, and the hidden beauty beneath the pressures of a divided world. Her imagery navigates control, displacement, and quiet unrest, using layered composition and muted, somber grace to let unease and subtle hope coexist.
/ I am drawn to the underlying currents of human presence and the longing for connection. My practice explores the emotional and psychological landscapes that emerge when we navigate life under constant pressure - between political division and our inherent need for unity. I am interested in what it means to be human, examining vulnerability, resilience, and the fragile bonds that sustain us. My work reflects both the tension and tenderness of these experiences, revealing moments where connection surfaces despite instability and uncertainty, and revealing the quiet, often overlooked moments of grace that endure amidst unrest.
Working across photography, graphic design, mixed media, painting, and printmaking, my imagery moves between softness and terror, beauty and danger, the organic and the graphic. Through layered composition, I allow unease and subtle hope to coexist. Engaging with contradictions, my work seeks to evoke shared vulnerability, exploring the possibilities of empathy, understanding, and human connectivity amid societal fractures. /
