More about this artwork

The painting captures a vibrant street scene bustling with activity and anticipation. A narrow street lined with colorful, sunlit buildings guides the viewer's eye towards a grand domed structure at the end of the path. People, depicted in loose, expressive strokes, populate the scene, walking or standing as they engage in conversation. Their attire suggests a chilly but not harsh winter day, indicated by coats and scarves. Some are focused on their companions, while others are drawn to the festive decorations that brighten the street corners. A particular group near a stall adorned with red accents and what might be holiday ornaments hints at the lively holiday preparations underway. The mood is cheerful and communal, marked by a palette of warm yellows, reds, and cool blues, evoking a sense of joyful hustle before the holidays.

The works of the artist V. Vija Tarabildienė reflect many years of creative search, a distinctive approach to the world and art, and are open to the future.
The theme of REMEMBRANCE is prominent in her work. The artist's impulses are wide-ranging. She draws not only from her impressions, local tradition and environment, but also from the rich layers of cultural memory and ancient civilisations. She seeks what is reliable, stable, eternal and a counterpoint to the chaos and instability of today. The author strives for a particular harmony and balance. Colour and line have a strong aesthetic impact in Vija's work.
V. Vija's works have been acquired by the Lithuanian Art Museum, the Samogitian Art Museum, and the Vilnius Academy of Arts Museum. The Library of the National University of Paris and in private collections in the USA, Germany, Poland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, the United States, the Republic of Ireland and Canada.
