All artworks

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 depicts a stylized female figure dressed entirely in black against a textured gold background. The figure is rendered with elongated, flowing lines, giving her an elegant and slender silhouette. Her face is not shown; instead, the view is from behind, focusing on the back of her head and upper body. A striking feature is the soft, pale pink scarf draped around her neck and cascading down her back, providing a gentle contrast to the dark tones of her attire. The overall composition is simple yet impactful, with a balance of colors and a sense of graceful movement captured in the posture of the figure.
