More about this artwork

This artwork by Arūnas Žilys, titled "Hope," is deeply symbolic and rich in its depiction. The painting features a central figure, portrayed with a serene and somewhat solemn expression, typical of Žilys' characters. The figure's head is crowned with a delicate, twig-like structure that supports a small brown bird, suggesting a connection with nature and perhaps symbolizing thoughts or dreams.The most striking element is the larger golden sphere that the figure holds delicately with both hands, directly in front of the chest. Atop this sphere sits a white bird, looking outward. The golden sphere might represent something precious or essential, like hope itself, cradled and protected by the figure. The white bird could symbolize peace, purity, or the realization of that hope.The background and the clothing of the figure are painted with a rich texture and a multitude of warm colors, creating a vibrant contrast to the calm and monochromatic appearance of the figure’s face and hands. This technique of using a vivid backdrop helps to highlight the main elements and adds a dimensional, almost mystical aura to the painting.Overall, "Hope" by Arūnas Žilys can be interpreted as a visual metaphor for nurturing and preserving hope through connection with the natural world, a common theme in his work that invites viewers to find tranquility and contemplation.

Lithunian artist Arūnas Žilys and his vividly colored oil paintings are well known on both sides of Atlantic. Arūnas‘ work stands apart from mainstream Lithuanian artist with unique subjects as well as colors. While traditional Lithuanian art has been either strictly realistic or abstract, Arūnas has chotose neither way. His paintings have clearly defined subjects; however, the subjects are taken from the fantasy world. For instance, many subjects look like they‘re right out of fairy tale, with many theatrical elements and decorations. They‘re usually full of mistery and suspense, as if you are looking at fairy tale frozen in time. The paintings transport you back in time, and all sudden you‘re wondering whether you‘ve seen this setting before, some time your own childhood fantasies. The subjects usually entail many different cultural aspects from ancient history to modern times, and could be attributed to vitually any part of the world, thus making Arūnas‘ paintings highly admired by people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. The painting subjects are instantly admirable. They avoid main features of post-modernism art, such as declarations of aggressiveness, ugliness and anger. The human element in his paintings is mysterious, provocative, and highly sophisticated. Although in many cases the subjects are slightly surrealistic they do not declare any contfrontations, pain or suffering. Au contraire, they are full of peace and claim self-consiousness, declaring the essential goodness of the human nature. In addition Arūnas‘ colors emulate warm beauty and depth of the fantasy world. His style of painting creates and additional vibrating effect, where depth and stucture of painting changes with lighting, angle of viewing, and even your own mood. Rich texture, mix and contrast of colors perfectly supplement the themes and give Arūnas‘ paintings inmistakable uniqueness that separates them from the crowd and make them so desired by art collectors from around the world.
