Aleksandras believes that academic drawing provides the essential foundation for compelling visual art, allowing him to communicate his concepts clearly to his audience. He places great value on composition and color, asserting that the foremost aim of any painting is to offer an aesthetic experience, with deeper meanings and content being of secondary concern.
Aleksandras Jaremčiukas continually extends creative limits by trying out various painting genres, exploring different textures, and employing diverse drawing techniques. Even with this adventurous approach, surrealism remains his primary artistic focus and the field in which he has found significant achievement.

About this artwork+
This painting is quite surreal. It shows a very elongated, stylized figure. The figure is mostly blue, but the torso is covered in a green top. Her pose is dynamic and fluid, almost as if she's dancing or bending with the wind. She plays with a large spoon, stretching it across the canvas. The background features a vast, dreamy sky with soft clouds under a crescent moon. There's a sense of stillness around her but also movement. The table holds elements like a bottle, a pear, and some transparent glasses, contributing to the painting's dreamlike quality. The chair near the table has a bright red, unusual shape, reminiscent of pomegranate seeds. Aleksandras Jaremčiukas' style here can be described as surrealistic, characterized by vivid colors, dreamlike scenes, and imaginative use of objects and proportions. It looks both whimsical and provocative, inviting viewers to interpret its many elements. This painting can stir lots of thoughts about reality and fantasy.
