Dream

"I am Saulius Maldaikis – an artist whose creative journey began in my youth, while studying at the Kaunas School of Applied Arts. The artistic foundations I gained there became a solid starting point, but most of my creative growth happened as a self-taught artist – constantly experimenting, making mistakes, seeking new forms, and delving into what truly matters.

My artistic practice is more intuitive than academically based, yet that very quality gives my works freedom, spontaneity, and authenticity. I have participated in alternative music festivals, where my works not only drew interesting attention from audiences but also sparked discussions and interpretations.

In terms of style, I am drawn to the traits of realism, surrealism, impressionism, and symbolism. My art balances between the visible and the invisible – between reality and visions. I am inspired by abstraction, spiritual themes, the relationship between life and death, the duality of human nature, as well as psychological and psychedelic motifs. I explore philosophical and existential topics, am fascinated by the worlds of fantasy, the mysteries of the universe, and humanity’s place within it. In my works, one can find both a contemplation of nature’s beauty and reflections of critique and irony.

My works are unconventional – they are like small riddles, encouraging the viewer to pause and reflect. They are rich in symbols, metaphors, and subtle details that we often overlook in everyday life. These are messages that do not speak directly – they invite each viewer to discover a personal meaning.

My color palette is dominated by bluish tones – subtle, calm, yet full of depth. I avoid thick layers of paint to highlight the fragility, sensitivity, and inner silence of the work.

Each of my creations is unique and original – made with sincerity and dedicated to those who are ready to look deeper."
