Arvydas Zdanavičius(72)

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+

The painting depicts a serene view of Oldtown Kaunas, observed from across a body of water, presumably a river, reflecting the cityscape. The painting is dominated by earth tones, with patches of white that bring a subtle vibrancy to the scene. Prominent in the backdrop are several architectural structures, including a towering church adorned with detailed spires and another building with a prominent tower, showcasing classic European architectural styles, adding historical depth to the scene. In the foreground, a wooden bridge spans the river, featuring pedestrians possibly going about their daily routines. Several sailboats, their sails furled, are moored near the bridge, indicating a calm day with little wind. The overall mood of the painting is tranquil, capturing the essence of a bygone era with its calm waters and historic buildings under a clouded sky.
