Aukštyn

"Aukštyn," a whimsical and captivating painting by Remigijus Januškevičius, invites viewers into a surreal and buoyant dreamscape. At first glance, it appears as though a lush, verdant tree is blooming with balloons instead of leaves. On closer inspection, these are not just any balloons, but they carry an enchanting floating cart, whimsically constructed from parts of a carriage and a boat, packed with a lively gathering of characters.Dressed in vibrant and eclectic attire, these individuals, ranging from musicians playing violins to a couple enjoying a dance, each contribute to the festive atmosphere of this airborne spectacle. They are accompanied by birds and surrounded by floating umbrellas, enhancing the sense of an impromptu aerial parade. Below, the quaint European village complete with cobblestone streets and serene riverbanks bathes in the golden, diffuse light of either early dawn or late dusk, adding to the painting’s ethereal quality.Remigijus Januškevičius brings together elements of fantasy and reality in "Aukštyn," creating a visually stunning narrative that blurs the lines between the impossible and the possible, urging us to look upwards and let our imaginations soar.
