Dalius Virbickas is an artist whose passion for drawing was apparent from a young age. His artistic path began with drawing, as his childhood comics received acknowledgment and were even published in a newspaper. This early achievement culminated in his first award at the age of twelve, which further ignited his creative drive.
As Dalius’s abilities grew, he moved on to painting, immersing himself in a world of color and experimenting with various techniques and media. He is deeply grateful to his artist parents, whom he credits with sharing essential artistic insights with him. While experimentation is central to his creative approach, he mainly uses acrylics in his work. For Dalius, art serves as a crucial outlet for self-expression, allowing him to convey his ideas and aspirations through every creation.
His paintings have reached audiences worldwide, with his works now in collections in several countries. Dalius feels privileged to pursue his artistic passion, always striving to develop further and refine his craft. Living in Lithuania, he finds inspiration in his country’s rich culture and stays actively involved in the wider art scene to keep up with current trends.
Beyond his art, Dalius is also a professional historian, a field that gives him a distinctive outlook and informs his creative goals. He aims to produce joyful artworks that elicit positive feelings in viewers, hoping his paintings provide comfort, happiness, and a reminder of true human values—like kindness and friendliness—in an ever-changing world.
About this artwork+
The painting features three figures, possibly in a marketplace or a quaint street flanked by building facades and illuminated by warm light from classic lanterns. The atmosphere is somewhat subdued and reflective, under either rainy or wet conditions, with the street appearing slick and shiny. Two of the figures in the center are shown in mid-motion, walking together; one wears a black outfit with a red shirt, and the other is dressed in all black. Both wear face masks, suggesting a contemporary setting during a time requiring such precautions. They are turned towards each other, suggesting interaction or conversation. To the right, a third figure, also in black and wearing a mask, stands stationary and seems to be observing or waiting. The surrounding architecture and the assortment of vibrant flowers in planters along the path add color and contrast to the scene, injecting life and brightness into the otherwise muted tones and somber mood conveyed by the masked figures and the gray sky.
