More about this artwork

The painting depicts a serene lagoon scene, featuring traditional houses with steep, sloping roofs near the water's edge. These houses, painted in whites and greens with colorful accents like red windows, are nestled amongst lush greenery, possibly trees and shrubs, creating a cozy, sheltered feeling. In front of one house, a small boat rests on the sandy shore, suggesting a calm, fishing or agricultural community. The lagoon itself, visible behind the houses, reflects a light blue sky streaked with delicate wisps of white clouds. To the right, the natural landscape continues with hints of vibrant autumnal colors in the foliage, possibly indicating the season. The overall texture of the painting is rich and expressive, contributing to the vividness and dynamic feel of the rustic scenery. A bird flies across the sky, adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil setting.

Artist

Gitas Markutis has a firm place in the art world as an author of modern landscapes. In his works, we often see places in Lithuania that are familiar to most people, but we do not recognise them at first glance.

"Lithuanian nature is beautiful, but not all of the images you see in it are very picturesque, so you have to use your imagination to make the painting interesting. This is not always the case. In painting, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but I always try to win back," says the author. 

The artist often breaks down the visual landscape into geometric shapes, uses decorative contour lines, colour contrasts, and even if he chooses colours that are less pure and closer to nature, he often changes their ratio and proportion. The author likes to depict landscapes in which the union of nature and human works, architecture is revealed. In his paintings, historical architecture and nature always complement each other, emphasising each other's grandeur.

What we like most is the author's dynamic, purposeful and expressive touch, which gives a feeling of a light breeze, and the exceptional, unexpected, unexpected, artistic composition, which allows us to look at it from a different angle, and which at times even brings the landscape closer to abstraction.
