More about this artwork

The painting depicts a densely packed, sprawling favela that rises from the edge of a blue expanse, perhaps a body of water. This favela, stacked haphazardly, is made of an intricate assortment of what appears to be improvised housing. Each structure is closely pieced together, creating a patchwork of varied textures and colors, predominantly shades of blues, greys, and earth tones. The buildings are supported by thin, seemingly fragile stilts submerged in water, giving an impression of fragility and impermanence.Each makeshift home features unique elements—different windows, doors, and materials—that suggest a vibrant, albeit chaotic, community within. Shadow and light play across the painting, highlighting different facets of the settlement and providing depth and complexity. Occasional pops of brighter colors, like yellows and oranges, draw the eye and add vibrancy to the otherwise muted palette.

Hello, I am a Lithuanian artist Modestas Malinauskas. I was working as a fireman some time ago, now I am creating paintings.

Those paintings are born in my fantasies and dreams. Every single one has a story of its own. I always know the story, but sometimes it is not so easy to tell it in words. The easiest way for me to express it - is to paint it. 

My inspiration comes from traveling and different experiences in my life. What I see and what I feel stays with me and I express it with oil on canvases.

When painting, I often use artists knife and layering techniques. My works take some time to create, because of different layers of paint. I let the first few layers dry and after that, I apply transparent overlaps of paint. The end result is what you see. 

Enjoy my artworks!
