Kalnas (2024)

Modestas Malinauskas, a Lithuanian artist, is acclaimed for his imaginative and dreamlike paintings. Prior to committing himself fully to art, Modestas served as a fireman—a profession that provided him with singular life experiences which now inspire much of his creative work. Today, he vividly channels his fantasies and inner visions onto canvas, crafting pieces where each painting unfolds its own distinct story, one often intimately known only to him.

Malinauskas describes painting as the most natural means through which he can convey emotions and stories that he sometimes finds difficult to express in words. His artwork serves as a visual translation of internal narratives shaped by travel and a vast spectrum of life experiences. Using oil paints, he captures lingering impressions and sentiments, producing pieces imbued with personal symbolism and rich emotional detail.

Technique is an essential aspect of his artistic process. Modestas often utilizes an artist's knife along with layering methods, both of which contribute depth and texture to his paintings. His approach is painstaking and involves several phases, allowing each layer to dry before applying translucent coats over them. This technique imparts his works with their signature luminosity and ensures that every painting is rendered with careful attention over time.
