More about this artwork

The painting vividly depicts a coastal scene bustling with anticipation and activity. Dominating the foreground is a large, uniquely structured building with a pointed orange roof that might be a lighthouse or observation point, stationed prominently on a rugged cliff. Below, a sandy path snakes its way along the shoreline, hinting at gentle human trespass into the natural world. This undulating trail leads to a small congregation of boats - some moored, some seemingly readying for voyage with masts reaching skyward as if in salute to the vast, open waters ahead. The water itself is rendered in strokes of blue and green, shimmering subtly under a bright sky. In the background, against this aquatic expanse, stretches a line of rolling green hills topped with structures that appear residential; their presence conveys a sense of quiet habitation in contrast to the liveliness at the shore. The entire scene is encapsulated in a wash of warm sunlight, enhancing the sense of a moment suspended in time, just before the onset of adventure or departure.

Artist

Gitas Markutis has a firm place in the art world as an author of modern landscapes. In his works, we often see places in Lithuania that are familiar to most people, but we do not recognise them at first glance.

"Lithuanian nature is beautiful, but not all of the images you see in it are very picturesque, so you have to use your imagination to make the painting interesting. This is not always the case. In painting, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but I always try to win back," says the author. 

The artist often breaks down the visual landscape into geometric shapes, uses decorative contour lines, colour contrasts, and even if he chooses colours that are less pure and closer to nature, he often changes their ratio and proportion. The author likes to depict landscapes in which the union of nature and human works, architecture is revealed. In his paintings, historical architecture and nature always complement each other, emphasising each other's grandeur.

What we like most is the author's dynamic, purposeful and expressive touch, which gives a feeling of a light breeze, and the exceptional, unexpected, unexpected, artistic composition, which allows us to look at it from a different angle, and which at times even brings the landscape closer to abstraction.
