Daniele Balsyte is a Lithuanian-born, UK-based visual artist currently residing in London. She graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 2024, where her focus evolved from fashion photography to social documentary, driven by a deep interest in the power of images to address socio-political issues. Her work delves into the intersections of memory, history, and visibility, often highlighting what is overlooked, silenced, or erased from collective memory. She is particularly drawn to landscapes—not only as physical spaces, but as quiet witnesses to the passage of time, holding the weight of both personal and collective narratives. Her images reflect on how these landscapes embody the stories of individuals and communities that have often been forgotten or overlooked.

In her current group exhibition, Traces of Being at Aspex Portsmouth, Daniele explores how land carries the traces of the past, revealing histories that have been forgotten, reshaped, or suppressed. Through her work, she invites viewers to consider how these layers of history shape the present, urging a deeper reflection on the invisible forces that shape identity, memory, and belonging.
