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+

This painting by Maksas, titled "Number 1," features a mix of smooth and rough textures. There's a graceful sweep of white and gray across a darker, almost earthy background. Little specks, possibly white paint, dot the surface, giving it a lively feel. The style seems abstract. It doesn't depict specific objects but rather focuses on feelings or movement conveyed through colors and forms. This method lets the viewer find personal meanings or emotions in the swirls and splashes. Maksas appears to experiment with fluidity and contrast in materials, creating a piece that's both intriguing and open to interpretation. The use of muted colors alongside the dramatic white also adds to its mysterious allure. It’s a painting that invites you to look closer.
