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.

About this artwork+
The painting "Night Light" by Egidijus Dapšas features a canvas dominated by muted grays and stark black bands that stretch horizontally across the field. Its broad horizontal brushstrokes and layered application of paint create a sensation of depth and texture. The center of the work is marked by a dense, dark block of black that appears almost as a void, absorbing light and drawing the viewer’s gaze inward. This central darkness is framed by lighter gray areas that show hints of underlying white and soft blue, suggesting a subtle interplay of shadow and illumination reminiscent of soft moonlight. The overall effect is both restful and mysterious, evoking the quiet calm of a cloudy night.
