Since childhood, drawing has captivated me; even my math and other school notebooks were always covered with various sketches—much to the dismay of my teachers, who rarely praised me for it. After completing my art studies, I became a professional artist, but after a few years, life led me away from the heart of the art world.
During this lengthy period away from my artistic path, I constantly reassured myself that I would one day return. Now, that time has come, and I find myself once again immersed in creativity and the world of art.

About this artwork+
The abstract painting titled "Midsummer" by Egidijus Dapšas offers a composition marked by its layered visual depth and textural complexity. The artwork's primary use of muted browns, whites, and grays contributes to a serene, almost melancholic atmosphere. Horizontal bands and faint vertical strokes suggest a vague, landscape-like form, possibly reflecting a horizon or subtle natural elements. These elements, intertwined with the diffuse, soft edges, evoke a sense of tranquility and the effacement of distinct shapes. Subtle, darker linear elements disrupt the calm expanse, adding a hint of movement or tension. The overall effect is one of somber reflection or faded memory, typical of a dreamlike midsummer scene.
