All artworks

Arvydas Zdanavičius, a modern Lithuanian artist, finished his studies at the Stepas Žukas Art College in 1971 and obtained his degree from the Lithuanian Institute of Art in 1976. His academic background laid a solid groundwork for his career in visual arts, where he is known for his unique painting style.

Throughout his career, Zdanavičius has organized approximately 20 solo exhibitions—nine of which were held in Lithuania and eleven in Germany. Beyond these personal exhibitions, he has also taken part in many group shows, thereby extending his reach and artistic influence both within Lithuania and abroad.

To Zdanavičius, paintings are far more than decorative pieces or elements of interior design. He believes each painting preserves a particular moment in time and serves as a distinctive means of self-expression. His artistic method reveals a profound link between his daily life and the works he creates.

Zdanavičius primarily works in oils using the palette knife (mastichino) technique, exploring a range of genres but showing a particular affinity for cityscapes. Through his art, he expresses his perspective on life, making painting a central part of who he is both personally and professionally.

About this artwork+

This painting, titled "Dunes" by Arvydas Zdanavičius, captures a vivid and dynamic seascape. The scene is filled with movement. Beach grass sways in the foreground, and waves crash against the shore in the distance. A ship sails peacefully on the horizon under a yellow-tinged sky, where a lone seagull flies above. The artist has used a bold, impasto technique where the paint is applied thickly to create texture and depth. The colors are rich and warm, primarily consisting of browns, yellows, and blues which harmonize to convey the natural beauty of a seaside at sunset. Arvydas Zdanavičius’ style in this work is expressive and atmospheric, focusing on the interplay of light and color to evoke an emotional response from the viewer. The handling of the paint and the abstract quality of the forms give the painting a lively, almost tactile presence.
