Certificate of authenticity
Every painting you buy in our gallery is an original work of art. With every painting we sell you receive a certificate of authenticity, which guarantees that you are buying a work by that specific artist.

30-day return guarantee
Our main goal is to help you find the one artwork that truly fits and delights you — it is an object that will decorate your home for a long time and will eventually be passed on to future generations.
Although by law works of art cannot be returned (the seller's consent is required), don't worry — if you have doubts within 30 days of the purchase date, contact us: we will take the work back and refund your money, or offer you to choose another one from our art platform!

Delivery time: 10–14 business days. Every artwork ships insured by courier (FedEx/DHL) with a tracking number. Originals are one-off pieces and are packed with particular care.

As a consumer you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the day you receive the goods — no reasons needed. Details and the model withdrawal form are in our withdrawal notice (linked in the footer). Beyond that, as a courtesy we accept returns up to 30 days after receipt — an artwork should truly delight you. Contact us and we will find a solution.
Gabrielius Mackevičius is a contemporary artist who places significant emphasis on the personal nature of creativity. He characterizes his approach as one that welcomes both intentional planning and unexpected accidents, letting his art take form in unforeseen ways. Mackevičius considers the relationship between the artwork and its viewer to be highly significant, convinced that art has the power to spark memories, images, or feelings specific to each individual—often regardless of what the artist originally intended. Through this openness, he cultivates a universal bond between creator and spectator, founded on personal reaction and interpretation.
Known for his experimental methods, Mackevičius resists being limited by traditional boundaries. He deftly blends classic techniques of painting on canvas with unconventional surfaces like mirrors, which adds intricate dimensions and movement to his work. This unique fusion not only pushes the borders of what painting can be but also embodies his inquisitiveness and eagerness to explore new realms in visual art. The interaction between various materials functions as both a visual and conceptual tool, enhancing how viewers experience his pieces.
A notable element in his practice is the frequent pairing of poetic text with visual imagery, introducing another layer of significance. These poetic lines are intended to prompt deeper contemplation or stir emotion, encouraging viewers to interact with the pieces in a richer, more complex manner. Even with such elaborate compositions, Mackevičius is careful to maintain equilibrium and unity in his works, purposefully steering clear of overwhelming the senses.
His brushwork is marked by a natural, unforced rhythm, forming the core of each artwork. This sense of fluidity communicates a delicate elegance—qualities Mackevičius consistently aims to preserve throughout his art. By placing value on spontaneity, emotional depth, and interpretative freedom, Gabrielius Mackevičius consistently invites his audience into subtle and deeply engaging encounters with his creations.
About this artwork+
The artwork presents a wildly abstract swirl of gray and black strokes on a predominantly white canvas, capturing a sense of movement and chaos. Amidst the swirling grayscale tones, subtle hints of color—perhaps a delicate pink and specks of blue—offer a gentle contrast, adding depth and complexity. The bold, sweeping gestures of the brush strokes evoke a sense of energy and perhaps the dizzying motion of swings, while the placement of dark colors gives the impression of a focal point or a shadowy figure within the whirl. This dynamic composition invites the viewer to explore the interplay of motion, color, and emotion, evoking a sense of freedom and the exhilarating feeling of being in motion. The piece is housed in a simple white frame that adds a clean, defined edge to the fluidity of the composition, and is accompanied by a small text plaque, anchoring the work in a context or narrative as provided by the artist or gallery.
