More about this artwork

We are thrilled to introduce a mesmerizing piece from the acclaimed artist Arūnas Rutkus, titled "Žolėje" (2007). This painting draws viewers into a surreal and textured world, where imagination and reality merge in breathtaking fashion.The artwork features a figure adorned with intricate and ornamental elements, blending seamlessly into a monochromatic and texturally rich background. Dominating the visual composition is a large, sculptural flower positioned like a headpiece, covering the figure’s eyes and cascading over the face. This floral motif adds a dreamlike quality to the piece, suggesting themes of nature, growth, and concealment.The figure itself is partially translucent, revealing underlying drawings reminiscent of schematic or mechanical designs. This transparent effect suggests a layered existence, where external appearance and internal structure coexist, encouraging viewers to consider the complexity beneath the surfaces.The color palette of earth tones—browns, beiges, and whites—enhances the painting’s organic feel, making the artwork seem as though it is a part of a larger, natural canvas. The use of light and shadow in the composition plays with perception, giving the figure a glowing, almost ethereal presence that appears to rise from the background."Žolėje" is a stunning example of Rutkus's ability to manipulate texture and depth to create compelling visual narratives. This painting invites viewers to ponder the intersections of human nature, technology, and the environment, making it a profound addition to any collection.Explore this enchanting creation and let your thoughts wander in the mystical landscape presented by Arūnas Rutkus.
