More about this artwork

The painting depicts a lively and somewhat mystical scene quite creatively structured. At the forefront, there's a large, white silhouette that forms a network of interlocking branches or roots, each containing the shape of an energetic human figure. These figures appear to be dancing or floating, integrating with the branches in a dynamic, almost celebratory manner.In the background, beneath the white overlay, a tranquil rural landscape unfolds in a palette of greens, blues, and browns. Gentle hills roll through the scene, dotted with clusters of quaint houses and buildings that hint at a village setting. A serene body of water sits quietly amidst the undulating terrain, reflecting the calmness of the sky above, which is a soft blue with light hints of clouds.The periphery of the artwork is framed by a subtle array of more buildings, possibly indicating the outskirts of a town or additional villages, enveloped in the embrace of lush trees and foliage. The entire composition combines a sense of folklore with a vibrant community spirit, captured within the graceful dance of the figurative elements against a peaceful, pastoral backdrop.

Artist

Marius Jonutis graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 1990, majoring in graphic arts. Making his debut on the artistic stage, he drew the attention of the audience with his extremely colourful, decorative sheets, which stood out in the Lithuanian artistic context for their unusual vitality of worldview. His innovative nature encouraged the artist to expand the arsenal of traditional means of expression, and to go beyond the space of the sheet. This led to the creation of wooden panels, shirmas and shelves, where the cramped space of the created "worlds" gained a third dimension.

The tradition of folk sculptures, wooden toys, marionettes, enriched with expressive graphic and painterly accents, is distinctively intertwined in the works of M. Jonuitis. The world of his works delicately balances on the border of childhood reminiscences and mythological world-image. They seem to integrate the rituals of the old god-workers - sacralising human existence and anthropomorphising the divine spheres, "taming" transcendence.

The works of M. Jonuitis unintentionally remind us of the myths of World Creation. With the help of wood and paint, like a shaman, he tirelessly creates the Cosmos. It is true that he does this using a modern arsenal of expressive means, with a humorous touch of self-irony that is typical of modern man. Therefore, the artist's ode to life never turns into overt didacticism or infantile sentimentality. Rather, it is a game that gives satisfaction both to the creator and to the one who sees the fruits of this creation. The distinctive rhythm of colour patches, shapes and ornaments and the infinitely transparent, "minor" colouring play an important role in his work. All these means of expression are transformed into a dream of an earthly paradise - an undisturbed harmony and unity that pulsates with the vital rhythm of life.
