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, titled "Romantic 1," looks vibrant and bold. The artwork portrays a woman with a mysterious half-smile. Her face is mainly white and she has closed eyes, giving her a dreamy look. Her hair seems to be flowing with the wind. Splashes of bright colors like green, blue, and red surround her, adding a lively contrast to her pale face and dark attire. The artist has used an expressive, almost abstract style. Colors are vivid and loosely applied. You can see thick brushstrokes and drips of paint. It's a modern piece, likely aimed at evoking emotions rather than detailing precise features. Maksas has created a strikingly moody yet beautiful image, effectively capturing an intimate, romantic essence through color and form. This piece feels free and unrestrained, reflecting the spirit of modern art.
