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.

The artist has held several solo exhibitions and takes part in group exhibitions both in Lithuania and abroad. Through these events, the public has had opportunities to experience and appreciate a distinctive artistic vision developed over many years.

Works by Egidijus Dapšas have also found their way to private art collectors both in Lithuania and internationally. This growing interest among collectors speaks to the recognition and appreciation received at home and beyond.

About this artwork+

This painting titled "Minimum Surplus" by Egidijus Dapšas presents a textured and abstract composition. Dominated by a subdued palette of greys, whites, and hints of black, the canvas is subtly punctuated with touches of blue. The artwork involves a blend of rough textures and softer washes, creating depth and visual intrigue. Speckles, scratches, and muted lines contribute to a feeling of decay and aging. Alongside these elements, patches of paler hues seem to suggest erasure or fading memories. A dark grid-like pattern, partially obscured and centered towards the upper portion, interrupts the predominantly soft background, introducing structure amidst the ambiguity. The overall feel is introspective and quietly dynamic, drawing the viewer into a contemplative exploration of texture and minimalism.
