Artwork in the room
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+
The painting presents a muted palette dominated by shades of gray, with subtle hints of blue and white. Its composition is largely abstract, featuring layered textures that suggest a combination of wear and deliberate mark-making. A sense of verticality is prominent, evoked by streaks and drips that resemble rain or a cascade on a windowpane. Broad, horizontal bands across the top and the bottom seem to frame the central elements, which include ghostly, indistinct shapes akin to reflections or shadows shimmering through fog. The overall atmosphere is one of haunting ambiguity, almost as if viewers are glimpsing a scene through a misted or frosted glass, where forms and figures hint at existence but elude precise definition.
