More about this artwork

The painting depicts a serene lakeside scene under what appears to be the soft light of either dawn or dusk. The main focus is a calm expanse of water that mirrors the subtleties of the sky and the silhouettes of the surroundings. This reflective water splits the composition horizontally, doubling the image of the landscape above with its inverted twin below. Across the lake, a dense formation of dark trees lines the horizon, interspersed with hints of a lighter, warmer color peeking through, suggesting either lights in the distance or a break in the foliage. Nestled among the trees are glimpses of small, white structures, perhaps houses, which are mirrored in the water along with their surroundings. The brushwork is textural and impressionistic, emphasizing mood over detail, with a palette dominated by dark blues and greens, punctuated sparingly with whites and lighter greens. The sky, a lighter patch in the composition, adds a subtle contrast to the overall dark tones, suggesting a clearing in an otherwise overcast setting.

Artist

Born and raised in 1965 in the village of Srėbiškis, the artist, as you will notice if you look at his work, often draws inspiration and ideas from nature, perfect in itself.

In Vytautas Laisons' landscapes, you will not find any exoticism, no high mountains, no impressive rocks, no unseen plants. On the contrary, the landscape we see in the painting is completely mundane, the same landscape we would find when we leave the city, and yet different. It would seem that we have seen fields, lake shores, rivers running into the distance so many times, but Vytautas Laisonas manages to give even a path through a meadow a new and attractive look, because the artist sees our familiar nature from a different angle.

Sometimes the artist seems to be looking at the landscape from a perch in the grass, sometimes from a high hill, sometimes from under a clump of trees, and sometimes by wading into a narrow stream. Each landscape here not only documents reality, but conveys a mood. The sky and the water are always useful for this purpose. The swollen sky and even the bluish greenery remind us of a muggy summer afternoon when the rain is about to fall, while the clear sky reflected in the lake brings complete peace. The theme of water unites all the author's work, whether it is a lake, a river or a narrow river. It is the eternal source of life.

Naturally, the full range of green and blue shades dominates the artist's paintings, but they are so inexhaustible and natural that they never tire, and their soothing and harmonious combination blends perfectly into the interior.
