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 "Touch The Light" by Egidijus Dapšas displays a textured surface dominated by subdued tones of gray, beige, white, and subtle hints of blue. The colors blend softly into each other, creating a peaceful, worn appearance akin to an old wall weathered over time. There are layers upon layers of paint, each brush stroke suggesting a depth of motion and emotion beneath. Horizontal striations and gentle gradations in color give the impression of a vast, open landscape or the quiet swell of a serene ocean at dawn. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the scratchy, raw textures, suggest an abstract, contemplative exploration of light penetrating through obscured clarity. The painting as a whole evokes a sense of calmness and introspection, as if inviting the viewer to reach out and touch the elusive light it gently harbors.
