Artwork in the room
Aleksandras Kapustinas is a decorative artist who graduated from the Lithuanian Academy of Arts in 1976. With a solid foundation in professional training, he began developing his career in the arts, participating in exhibitions and sharing his enthusiasm for visual art with a broader audience. His first public exhibition was held in Vilnius in 1980, and he later presented his works in Kaunas in 1982.
Now based in Vilnius, Kapustinas draws profound inspiration from the imagery and mood of the old town. The historic allure and evocative atmosphere of Vilnius are integral to his work, shaping and inspiring his creative pursuits. This deep connection to the city permeates the subjects he chooses to portray.
In more recent years, Kapustinas has devoted himself to landscape painting, using the traditional pastel-on-paper technique. His works highlight the distinct character of Vilnius as well as various scenes from Great Britain, reflecting his admiration for European cityscapes and landscapes through a sophisticated artistic perspective.
Kapustinas’s landscapes encourage viewers to immerse themselves in the nostalgic mood and enduring beauty of the places he paints. Each piece reveals not only his technical mastery but also his personal captivation with the unique spirit of historic and picturesque settings.
About this artwork+
The painting features an abstract and otherworldly landscape, where elements of an old town are imaginatively blended into a natural setting. Two large, distorted circular forms dominate the scene, reminiscent of distorted reflections or mirages. These circles contain faded impressions of buildings—a mix of red-roofed and pale structures—giving the impression of a town viewed through a lens or a bubble. The background and foreground blend seamlessly, with earthy colors, and patches of green and blue suggesting a wild, overgrown area with sparse vegetation. A few trees with thin, bare branches are scattered across the foreground, adding to the desolate yet intriguing atmosphere of the scene. The sky is overcast, rendered with streaks of white and grey, which casts an eerie mood over the landscape. It seems to be a fusion of decay and endurance, highlighting both the resilience and the fragility of human constructions within nature's vast canvas.
