More about this artwork

Experience the enchanting depth of "Auksiniai sapnai" (Golden Dreams), a compelling artwork crafted by the renowned Lithuanian artist Arūnas Rutkus in 2017. Known for his distinct style and captivating textures, Rutkus transports viewers into a dreamlike realm imbued with golden hues and intriguing abstract forms.This painting is dominated by a rich, golden palette, creating a sense of warmth and value. Upon closer inspection, one is drawn into a complex play of textures and layers that suggest age, wisdom, and perhaps hidden stories embedded within the canvas. The left portion of the artwork features an impactful, almost collage-like configuration of what appears to be textured fabrics and possibly organic materials, bordered by rough, tactile edges that evoke the feeling of ancient walls.In this intricate segment, a subtle, yet undeniable figurative element — reminiscent of a traditional ornamental chain — cascades down the composition, adding a touch of mystique and historic resonance. This symbol could be interpreted in numerous ways, perhaps as a connection to cultural heritage or a link between dreams and reality.Moving to the right, the painting shifts towards a more structured grid pattern that might represent the more ordered, conscious layers of thought or society. This contrast between the free-flowing left side and the geometric right side of "Auksiniai sapnai" might signify the blend of creativity and structure in human experience.Arūnas Rutkus' "Auksiniai sapnai" is not only a visual feast but a metaphoric exploration of dreams, history, and the layers of human consciousness.
