More about this artwork

The painting captures a serene lakeside scene framed by tall pine trees. The foreground shows an array of low bushes and grass, detailed with strokes of vivid greens and yellows under the flitting shadows of the towering trees. The pine trees themselves rise starkly, their slender trunks marked by rough patches, stretching up to display sparse, wind-swept branches that hint at a strong, gusting breeze. These trees stand as dark, bold forms against a subtly lit sky that carries soft, muted tones of blues and grays, reflecting a placid lake in the background. The lake's surface mirrors the sky, serene and almost motionless under the overcast lighting, extending a sense of calm through the composition. The artist's brushwork imbues the scene with a dynamic texture, particularly evident in the lively yet fleeting strokes that represent the wind-swirled leaves and grass, bringing to life a quiet, natural setting that evokes tranquility and a touch of solitude.

Artist

Valentinas Varnas became one of the most popular landscape painters as soon as he joined our platform. It seems that this author does not look for motifs for long, and one would not say that the images he captures are unseen or unexpected, but the artist sees beauty and a kind of romance in each one. These paintings are somewhat like a diary, describing the events of each day in images, not picking out the most spectacular moments, but looking for the poetry in the everyday sights. And they are depicted in an etymological manner, preserving the impression of spontaneity, the brushstrokes are applied precisely but with a sense of urgency, in a rush to capture the light and its play.

One of the most frequent motifs is water, whether it is a raging lagoon or a stream flowing calmly through a forest. The artist captivatingly captures its shimmering and reflections, and the mood of the work can be sensed from its glassy surface or its restless rippling.

Born in 1956, lives and works in Kaunas.

Graduated from Kaunas St. Kaunas, Kaunas, Kaunas.

1979-1985 studies at the Vilnius State Art Institute, now Vilnius Academy.

His works are in oil painting, watercolour and drawing techniques, and have been acquired by the Regional Museum in Raseiniai, Kaunas Seminary, Kiskunmajsa (Hungary) City Museum, various organisations and private individuals in Lithuania and abroad.

For his creative achievements in painting, in 2022 the artist was awarded a diploma of the laureate of the 28th International Painting Plenary in Nida, a diploma and a prize established by the Mayor of Tomašov Lubelski (Poland).

Participates in group exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad, participates in many creative plein-air exhibitions, and holds solo exhibitions.
