More about this artwork

The painting captures a dramatic and emotional moment of rainfall. Sheets of rain descend from a tumultuous sky, where clouds swirl in tones of dark red, orange, and deep blues, blending into a softer palette of whites and grays. This downpour blurs the barrier between sky and land. Below, the ground is awash with a vibrant display of colors, like a carpet of flowers or a scattering of bright leaves, suggesting the rain has enlivened the earth beneath. The overall effect is both intense and serene, infused with a sense of renewal. Rays of light, possibly indicating the sun's struggle through the dense cloud cover, radiate from a central point in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The painting vividly portrays the powerful, cleansing essence of a heavy rainstorm.

"Personally, I can describe my painting style as magical realism. Thus I look for inspiration in daily life, where I search for mundane things but give them a different meaning. Real images, people and events have to exist for me. Through them, I find (sometimes I don’t) the ideas for my paintings, which are very important in my work. Also, the plot is crucial as well. Some literary aspects can be seen in my work too. It helps me find a way to painting‘s composition, colour choice, lightning, and else. I really appreciate oil painting because of its depth and saturation. As the surface doesn‘t dry for a long time, I can achieve subtle nuances and soft contours and form objects’ shapes, lightning, and glazes.

Art critic Ignas Kazakevičius writes about me: „The symbol system created by the artist is anthropomorphic. States and emotions are expressed with depersonalized but characteristic faces which are lightly covered in paint‘s veil. Artist‘s phantasies link with the state of sleep. Images kaleidoscopically change and blur the vision. So chamber figures can become fluorescent chimaeras and disappear into blue space in no time. But Vytautas Žirgulis’s painting has much more than literary plot and symbolism. Skilful painting is an integral part of an artist’s storytelling. When painting, Vytautas Žirgulis, step by step, thinks of who or what will enter his paintings. We encounter not only timeless impressions but also a relationship between tangible forms.”
