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 the St. Mikaloye Church of the Old Believers, highlighted by a vivid blue sky backdrop. This striking structure is shown with a large, gold-domed tower adorned with a scarlet band beneath the dome, radiating a sense of spiritual significance and grandeur. A smaller golden dome with a similar scarlet touch sits atop a secondary tower in the background, accompanying the main dome in serene symmetry. Both domes gleam under what seems to be bright sunlight, indicating either sunrise or sunset. The church's roof is clad in deep green metal, contrasting sharply with the warm gold and red of the domes. The building's facade features arched detailing, giving it an architectural richness and complexity. In the foreground, a stone wall, partially obscured by flourishing green foliage, fortifies the church compound. The entire scene is painted with bold, expressive brushstrokes, infusing the work with vibrant energy and a palpable sense of devotion.
