More about this artwork

We are proud to present "Balta pieva" (2022) by the renowned artist Arūnas Rutkus, a captivating piece that underscores the quiet elegance and intricate detail characteristic of Rutkus's work. The painting portrays a figure partially shaded by an ornate, wide-brimmed hat embellished with intricate, lace-like patterns and a large, sculptural rose. The hat casts a soft shadow over the figure’s delicate features, adding a note of mystery and allure.The figure is adorned in a textured gown that flows gracefully, echoing the patterns of the hat and suggesting a unity between attire and wearer. The background contrasts with the figure's detailed attire, featuring broad, sweeping strokes that suggest a windswept landscape or perhaps the abstract notion of an airy, open meadow – the "pieva" in the title.With "Balta pieva", Rutkus invites viewers into a tranquil yet slightly surreal world where fashion and nature blend seamlessly. The neutral palette of the painting further emphasizes a sense of timelessness and serenity.
