Aleksandras Lysiukas(169)

All artworks

Aleksandras Lysiukas, born in 1962, began his studies at Vievis Secondary School before continuing his education at the Vilnius Jonas Basanavičius Children's Art School. He completed his secondary education there, which established the groundwork for his artistic path and supported the growth of his emerging talent.

In 1991, Aleksandras developed a strong passion for painting, especially for landscapes that reveal the splendor of nature. While natural scenes often inspire his work, he is also captivated by Lithuanian farmhouses and the narrow streets of cities. Through his art, Aleksandras communicates his deep affection for his homeland’s scenery, portraying distinctive perspectives and the unique moods of various places.

Adopting a realistic style, Aleksandras draws significant inspiration from urban landscapes. He particularly enjoys depicting cityscapes, concentrating on the Old Towns of Vilnius and Kaunas. His works frequently feature some of the most picturesque areas in these cities, emphasizing striking architectural sites or wide panoramic views, occasionally shown from an aerial perspective.

Aleksandras has showcased his art in numerous exhibitions throughout Lithuania, Poland, and Canada, presenting his creative perspective to a wide audience. A member of the Lithuanian Folk Artists’ Union since 2008, he has seen many of his pieces become part of private collections across several countries around the world.

About this artwork+

This painting offers a panoramic view of Vilnius at what appears to be the onset of evening. The city is bathed in soft, muted tones suggesting either dusk or a cloudy day. An array of historic buildings, marked by their characteristic European architecture with prominent roofs and domed structures, dominates the canvas. Patches of greenery sporadically break through the urban landscape, perhaps showcasing the remnants of summer or early autumn. The skyline is gently hazy, giving the scene a dreamlike quality, with distant structures fading into the soft embrace of the foggy atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the earthy palette of browns, grays, and creams, infuses the painting with a tranquil, almost nostalgic mood.
