Waiting for Evening

The author has entered the Art World within unbelievably short period of time. Her very first works were noble because of their active creative imagination, vivid ideas, the multi-layered pictorial language. Her case is uncommon, having in mind a break-through of inherent abilities which under favourable conditionsaccomplish a breach of established rules and unclose unexpected formations.

Works of L. Zareckaite reveal multi-targeted reality and alternation of the world, fragility of existence. We accept them through sensory perception and by seeing a vital power of the artist‘s touchthat occurs at the time of speculation about human feelings, experiences, their diversity. I wish everyone a closer look at theimages of human world created by the artist who begins her way in the world of art. To that end she sensitively uses various colours, brushstrokes of different configurations which weave complex rhythmic compositions.

Active colours which dominate in the pictures created by the artist are coated with several layers. One colour is applied on another colour, oil-based paint and acrylic paint are used at the same time, they turn into colour stains, the touches of drastic brushstrokes “rough up” surfaces or turn into calm glaze. However both, i.e. paint and brushstroke motion freeze in the position which is seen as appropriate by the author.

Art critic

Technically the author uses impasto painting that is characterized by high relief, i.e. the painting does not require a palette since the author uses a canvas surface instead of a palette.For the same reason the painting is seen as multi-layered, it speaks through overlaps and exposures. It is obvious that the author is delighted by painting process itself and the opportunities arising from it, having in mind the opportunities to play with paint mass. The viewer's eye is granted with almost sensual pleasure to travel through “surface landscapes” which have developed thanks to the author’s games.
