More about this artwork

The painting depicts a vibrant, bustling harbor scene, likely in the late hours of the afternoon or early evening. The background shows a panoramic view of steep, lush hills that gently roll into a distant horizon under a sky brushed with soft hues of pink and blue, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The middle ground is densely packed with a tapestry of buildings rendered in lively patches of whites, pinks, yellows, and earth tones, suggesting the colorful facades typical of Mediterranean architecture. The buildings appear stacked closely together, some featuring what look to be domed roofs and ornate detailing that hints at a town rich in history and culture.In the foreground, the harbor is animated with blue waters, painted with thick, dynamic strokes, giving the sense of movement as if the water is shimmering. The harbor is speckled with numerous boats—indicated by less detailed, impressionist strokes of whites, reds, and blues—that add to the scene's vivacity. A couple of larger vessels can be seen, possibly suggesting a mix of fishing boats and leisure yachts that contribute to the town's seaside charm.Overall, the painting pulses with a lively, almost tangible energy, conveyed through the artist's expressive, impasto technique, emphasizing the beauty and dynamic atmosphere of a coastal Italian paradise.

Vilma Gataveckienė, a Lithuanian artist, has nurtured a love for drawing since her early years. She attributes much of her artistic growth to the guidance of her remarkable teacher, Ipolita Valeravičius, at Jonava Art School. Through her paintings, Vilma enjoys expressing her emotions and ideas, hoping to spark positive feelings in those who view her work. She also acknowledges the profound impact that her friends and fellow artists from the USA, Paul Cumes and Bob Mask, have had on her creative path.

Residing in Šiauliai, Lithuania, Vilma mainly creates art using oil paints. Her works are part of private collections not just in Lithuania, but also in the USA, Germany, and Switzerland. This global interest emphasizes the wide-reaching appeal of her artwork and underscores the bond she establishes with audiences worldwide.

In her artistic portfolio, Vilma offers inviting scenes drawn from her European travels and vistas of blooming meadows. She focuses on lively colors and expressive, bold brushwork, placing less importance on traditional draftsmanship or rigid perspective. With this method, her canvases take on the appearance of glowing, fluid tapestries, extending a sense of warmth and welcome to the viewer.

Her art is defined by a luminous, gentle color scheme and a dedication to creating comfort and peace. The bright mood and dynamic textures that run through Vilma’s paintings set them apart and ensure they leave a lasting impression, while her ongoing devotion to her artistry continues to move and enchant people both in Lithuania and internationally.
