More about this artwork

The painting depicts an elderly man with a heavily lined face full of character and a slightly bemused expression. He wears a weathered hat tilted back on his head, revealing a tuft of gray hair. His facial hair is a mix of white and gray, enhancing the depth of his aged appearance. The man's eyes, with just a hint of a twinkle, appear to look right at the observer. He is smoking, with wispy tendrils of smoke elegantly curling upward and blending into the dark, mottled background which shifts to a golden hue at the top right corner, suggesting a light source or perhaps the warmth of the indoors. He holds a cigarette between his fingers, which are weathered and stained, hinting at a life of labor or outdoor activity. The overall tone of the painting carries a rustic feel, highlighted by his outer garment that appears to be a rugged, yellow-brown jacket with a fur collar, adding to the texture and earthly colors of the scene. His posture and expression convey a casual moment of reprieve, imbued with a sense of quiet resilience and time-worn wisdom.

Born in 1961, Vidmantas Jažauskas is a graduate of the Vilnius Academy of Arts. In his paintings, viewers will find the fundamental values of painting. The artist, who has been systematically painting in seclusion for many years, avoids the hustle and bustle of exhibitions and does not seek to highlight his personality. Inner warmth, a wide range of emotions, and the uniqueness of each work are important qualities for an artist who seeks to show that the classical traditional manner of painting is not exhausted, and that he has infinite reserves. However, although Vidmantas Jažauskas follows the classical tradition of painting, his paintings are distinguished by their colours, their contrasting combinations and the colour patches used to construct forms. The artist is not so much interested in small, individual details, but in the whole, as if looking at everything from afar and squinting a little. The artist's inspiration usually comes from Lithuanian nature and cities. In the summer, the artist participates in plein-air workshops, works a lot outdoors, and spends his winters in the city, and then we can see the streets of Kaunas or Vilnius on his canvases, but the author prefers the romantic Užupis to everything.
