More about this artwork

The painting presents two large, interconnected buildings with a distinct old-world charm. The building on the left is more understated, painted in warm beige tones, featuring a pitched roof with visible terracotta tiles. It has small, evenly spaced windows, some of which appear dark, hinting at vacant or shadowed rooms. The ground level shows a large doorway, possibly leading to a covered entry or courtyard.On the right, a taller structure stands, painted in a soft blue hue, creating a striking contrast against its beige neighbor. It features larger, arched windows with intricate moldings reflective of historical architecture. Each window casts a subtle reflection, suggesting the presence of glass and a hint of life within. The blue building has a flat roof adorned with what looks like a chimney or vent, indicating utility and function.The entire scene is overlaid with a sense of calm twilight or dawn, suggested by the soft, diffused lighting and a clear, azure sky above, lending a quiet, almost melancholic atmosphere to the scene. A solitary lamppost stands between the buildings, a symbol of the passage of time, leaning slightly, adding a dynamic element and a touch of imperfection to the otherwise sturdy and static architecture. The painting captures a serene yet somber slice of urban history, palpable with stories and the echoes of footsteps perhaps long faded.

When we talk about landscapes, the shimmering surface of the water, the painted leaves of the trees, the clouds floating in the sky usually come to mind, but Kęstutis Jauniškis sees nature through the prism of architecture.


This artist breaks down the visible landscape into large components, deconstructs it and reassembles it again on canvas from stylised spots of colour, like a collage of cut-outs in which the laws of perspective do not apply and the third dimension, if it does appear, does not serve the illusion of realism. The monotony is saved here by the colour contrasts, the gentle gradation of shades within the spots themselves, and the differences in texture. Jauniškis's paintings are characterised by soft, gentle lines, sparing, even miserly used details and earthy colouring.

The author's landscapes often move away from visual reality towards abstraction. A real dessert for the eyes of modern art fans.

Kęstutis is a member of the International Association of Miniaturists in Australia (Tasmania). He participates in exhibitions of miniatures organised by this association.
