More about this artwork

In the painting "Birthday" by Aurelija Kairytė Smolianskienė, two figures are depicted in a somber-toned setting. One figure, to the left, has a strikingly red mask-like face, resembling a bird with intense, round eyes and a sharp, elongated nose. This figure's hand, appearing detached, rests on a plate holding a small, sparsely decorated cake with a few red spots. Alongside, sits a child, his face pale and expression marked by wide, staring eyes and a hint of unease or surprise. The background swirls in muted grays and dark tones, which adds to the overall enigmatic and slightly surreal quality of the scene. Two pink dots float near the top left corner, their significance ambiguous but adding a touch of color to the predominantly gray palette.

I am a painter whose works have been displayed at multiple local exhibitions here in Lithuania. My technique primarily involves the use of watercolour and oil on canvas, combined to get an aesthetically pleasing synergy of colour and form. Living in an animal farm deep within Lithuanian countryside, surrounded by velvet lakes and untamed woods, my inspiration comes from nature, local folktales and fantasies they arouse. I am inspired by my personal experiences, some, as an artist in Lithuanian countryside, and thus when asked to explain my imagery I often find myself at a loss, unable to ascribe a single source of meaning. I graduated from the National School of Art and in 2008 I was awarded the Master of Arts by Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania.
