More about this artwork

The painting captures a seated woman, appearing contemplative or serene, her gaze directed slightly downward. Her body exhibits delicate yet defined lines, predominantly in hues of blue and pale peach, against a dark, moody background, suggesting the onset of evening. The woman’s long, wavy hair cascades down her shoulders, harmonizing with the subtle curves of her posture.Surrounding her are elements that evoke a sense of locale and atmosphere: to her right, an open window implies a view of a watery landscape bathed in nocturnal blues, possibly a lake or sea, which adds a layer of tranquility to the scene. Beside her, a railing or balcony with a row of books lined up against it introduces a cultured or intellectual dimension to the setting. A plant, with full, thick leaves, sits near the foreground, enhancing the naturalistic element within this composed, introspective moment. The use of light and shadow plays across the scene, dark tones blending with soft highlights on the woman’s body and the environment, creating a texture that feels both intimate and profound.

Artist

Vaidotas Ruibys was born in Ukmergė, Lithuania, on 24 April 1959 and moved to Kaunas with his parents a month later.

From 1971 he studied at the Juozas Naujalis Art School in Kaunas. He was regarded by his teachers as a gifted pupil. His graphic works won prizes in republican competitions.

Vaidotas Ruibys has remained faithful to the genre of the nude throughout the long years of his work. It is true that not every painting depicting a nude body can be called a nude. A nude is not only a representation of the naked body, but also the isolation of certain parts of the body or the highlighting of human emotions, as Ruibys masterfully demonstrates with his brush.

The naked women in Ruibys' canvases are looking at us with modest, shy, sometimes questioning gaze. The author's style is close to the pre-war school of painting, the colours are mostly muted, cold tones predominate.

Translucency is also very important, the transparent folds and fabrics of the garments creating an impression of legginess. Perhaps this is why the women in these paintings radiate a relaxed, demure gaze. Ruibys creates a nostalgic and lyrical atmosphere, so that, as one looks at the paintings for longer, possible scenarios of the painted woman's life are subtly suggested.
