More about this artwork

The painting depicts a surreal portrait of a man with distinctive, exaggerated features set against a dreamlike, cool-toned background with hints of ochre and midnight blue. His right eye is emphasized in a large, circular frame, creating a striking imbalance with his other smaller, more traditionally depicted eye. A significant part of the composition is his hat, stylishly tipped on his head, casting a shadow over his forehead. His attire suggests a sort of old-world elegance, yet it contrasts with the almost caricature-like rendering of his face. There’s a beam of light, yellow and direct, originating from his nasal region, pointing outward, breaking the otherwise moody and swirling color scheme surrounding him. The light, which mimics a lighthouse beam, enigmatically connects the figure to the surrounding ambiance, possibly signifying a metaphorical or literal guidance. The background swirls appear fluid, as if in motion, contributing to the overall surrealistic feel of the artwork, where elements of reality and fantasy seamlessly blend.

Artist

Young generation painter Agota Bričkutė was born in 1993, in Klaipėda, Lithuania. She graduated from Vytautas Magnus University and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Art History, Criticism and Media, in 2016. Agota has been painting since 2017. Young artist has already participated in over 15 solo and group exhibitions. Her artworks are in private collections in Lithuania and abroad.

Agota especially values the process of creating which is intuitive and guided by the subconscious mind. Therefore, her creative method is related to a surrealistic technique - automatism. She transforms spontaneously appearing visions into symbolic and allegorical narrative during the painting. The colour palette is also the result of an intuitive creating process. Bright, playful and decorative facade often covers complex and contradictory content.

As for the main narrative of the painter's works, human beings and nature are always at the centre of the paintings. Instead of depicting traditional landscape Agota seeks to transform it into an emotionally charged dreamscape, where man and nature interact with each other. Moreover, her art represents subjective experiences, psychological states. Through artistic means of expression and free, associative language, the painter explores her inner world and tries to connect with the viewer both mentally and psychologically.
