More about this artwork

The painting depicts two prominent buildings dominating the canvas, with a clear ambiance of an old town's architecture. The left building, larger in perspective, has a textured sunlit facade, ranging in color from sandy tones to touches of pale yellow. The roof is a distinct red that sharply contrasts with the sky's vibrant blue. This structure features slightly irregular windows, some boarded or broken, suggesting age and wear. In front of this building stands a slender, bare tree, possibly indicating a season devoid of foliage, painted in red that echoes the roof's hue.The building on the right presents a more even and subtly brighter red facade with few windows and an adjoining darker section that might be another building or an extension. A single figure, small and indistinct, appears in a darker passageway, adding a human element to the scene which speaks to the inhabited yet silent feeling of the painting.The foreground of the scene is a flat expanse that might suggest a street or square, rendered in shades of warm earth tones that complement the walls of the buildings. This unembellished base helps to push the viewer's focus towards the textured walls and architectural details.Overall, the painting offers a sense of quiet and stillness, typical of a less frequented part of an old town, combining elements of desolation and beauty.

When we talk about landscapes, the shimmering surface of the water, the painted leaves of the trees, the clouds floating in the sky usually come to mind, but Kęstutis Jauniškis sees nature through the prism of architecture.


This artist breaks down the visible landscape into large components, deconstructs it and reassembles it again on canvas from stylised spots of colour, like a collage of cut-outs in which the laws of perspective do not apply and the third dimension, if it does appear, does not serve the illusion of realism. The monotony is saved here by the colour contrasts, the gentle gradation of shades within the spots themselves, and the differences in texture. Jauniškis's paintings are characterised by soft, gentle lines, sparing, even miserly used details and earthy colouring.

The author's landscapes often move away from visual reality towards abstraction. A real dessert for the eyes of modern art fans.

Kęstutis is a member of the International Association of Miniaturists in Australia (Tasmania). He participates in exhibitions of miniatures organised by this association.
