Dolly Sputnik / Austra Vekteryte

Ausra Vekteryte is a visual artist with a background in graphic design, born in Lithuania and based in Mexico City. Her work blends multicultural influences to explore identity, Eastern European heritage, and sexuality through a bold, humorous, and exaggerated visual language. 

Shaped by the contrast between her conservative upbringing and her current environment, Ausra reclaims sexuality as playful and empowering. Using satire, visual excess, and pop–infused references, she stages desire as playful performance, offering a mischievous, light–hearted critique of shame, control, and inherited norms.
