"Akvilė Les is a London-based visual artist of Lithuanian descent. Her extensive training, as well as her insightful approach to art and fashion, allow Akvilė to create art with an acute sense of contemporary culture and societal changes. One distinctive feature of her practice is her use of lipstick as a means of expressing her vision on canvas." - Petrie Inventory
