"The painter has formed a unique, realistic painting language, the plasticity of which responds to the content of the painting. Tomas Stanaitis became from nature and with the help of photographs and sketch drawings from his personal archive. The painter's attention is focused on the environment around him: he captures everyday images and analyzes the themes of time, environment and various experiences. Observing the environment, everyday life, the painter turns to himself: this is an autobiographical, diary-like nature of his work, but at the same time it is a story about something common to all of us.

The images of Tomas Stanaitis' paintings appear on the canvas with realistic drawing lines, generalized forms, monochrome planes and calm, muted color tones. Painting is accumulated and existential. The painter successfully combines the expressions of generalized and realistic painting. In this way, it forms a unique, individual aesthetic painting surface." - Painter, dr. Jovita Varkulevičienė
