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+
In this painting titled "Reflections" by Egidijus Dapšas, we see a captivating use of color and texture. The artwork is divided into two main sections by a horizontal line. Above this line, warm golden and earthy tones blend together, while below it, cooler gray and white shades dominate, suggesting a reflective surface like water. Small, shadowy figures appear just above the dividing line, spaced evenly. Below them, in the lower half, similar figures are mirrored as if reflected in water. Their presence adds a mysterious and somewhat somber tone to the composition. Dapšas employs a minimalist style. He uses abstract forms and blurred boundaries to evoke rather than depict reality. This painting suggests themes of reflection, both literal and metaphorical. The texture is rich, adding depth and a tactile quality to the visual experience. This style and technique encourage viewers to reflect, both on the painting itself and on deeper, perhaps personal, themes.
