Artwork in the room
In 2009, the artist Maksas embarked on his painting career, dedicating himself chiefly to the practice of realism. His commitment to portraying vivid details and authentic emotions shines through his artwork. Yet, Maksas does not confine himself to a single approach—he frequently ventures into various artistic styles, demonstrating both his adaptability and eagerness to experiment within the visual arts.
Maksas draws significant inspiration from the female body. This theme emerges in much of his work, where he examines form, beauty, and expression as seen through his unique perspective. His renderings of the human figure reveal not only technical proficiency but also a thoughtful sensitivity toward his subjects.
Maksas held his inaugural solo exhibition in 2019 in Tauragė, a Lithuanian city. Organized by the Tauragė Rotary Club, the event carried a charitable mission. The proceeds from the sale of his paintings during this exhibition were donated to children, underscoring his dedication to supporting the community through his art.
Beyond Lithuania, Maksas’s artworks have been appreciated and acquired for private collections in countries including England, Ireland, Germany, Ukraine, and in his homeland. This international presence illustrates the broad appeal and emotional resonance of his creations with audiences from various backgrounds.
About this artwork+
The painting shows a mix of vibrant colors and textures. The background is a rich magenta, full of motion. It feels alive, dripping and streaking across the canvas. Scattered across this vivid backdrop are circles made with white, orange, and green—looking like fried eggs and slices of cucumbers. Maksas uses a bold, abstract style. He plays with color and form in a dynamic way. It's emotional and unconstrained, typical of abstract expressionism. This style allows the viewer's imagination to run wild. Each person might see something different in those splashes and streaks.
