Artwork in the room
Marius Abramavičius-Neboisia is an artist whose philosophy is rooted in expanding the boundaries of human perception. He contemplates how individuals might perceive the world from new angles and push the frontiers of their worldview. Abramavičius proposes that people ordinarily access only a small fraction of their true capabilities, seeing just a limited slice of reality. With his artwork—most notably through his distinctive use of color—he urges viewers to extend their vision and to encounter the unseen dimensions of life.
Having been born and raised in Vilnius, Lithuania, Abramavičius-Neboisia feels a profound attachment to his native city, yet he is equally passionate about travel. His explorations, both local and far afield, infuse his creative process with a broad spectrum of cultural influences. Throughout his artistic journey, he has presented more than 60 solo exhibitions on an international scale, displaying his creations in a variety of venues across the globe. His artistic interests are not confined to painting alone; he delights in constructing stone pillars, flying kites, and unfurling his monumental paintings as flags high in the sky.
Abramavičius-Neboisia’s reputation extends far beyond painting—he is also known as a photographer, writer, poet, adventurer, and expert in kite flying. He is a familiar figure in a wide range of places, from Užupis (Vilnius’s artistic quarter) to Tibet, Azerbaijan, and Greece. The artist weaves together his physical journeys with his ongoing spiritual exploration, encouraging meetings not only in tangible locations but also within the realms of the soul. His multifaceted nature is a testament to his dedication to delving into and expressing the breadth of human experience.
The artist is convinced that the soul is capable of perceiving much more than the limited scope available in everyday existence. “The soul sees wide, sees much more than one is used to seeing in everyday life, where we have only 5 percent of visibility,” he remarks. To Abramavičius-Neboisia, this universal perspective is always within reach—whether he is gazing up at the stars or reflecting on the world during ordinary moments. He invites viewers to look beyond the surface, encouraging them to lose themselves in his works and to experience the expanded reality they reveal.
About this artwork+
In the painting "Mythological Landscape" by Marius Abramavičius Neboisia, a tapestry of vibrant and contrasting textures and colors unfolds, depicting a fantastical scene. The left portion of the piece features an ethereal, waterscape setting, marked by delicate, sail-like structures that resemble ships, navigating through blue, dreamlike waters among triangular, mountain-like forms towering in the background. These geological formations, painted in whites and deep blues, lend a cool, serene atmosphere to this section of the canvas. Transitioning towards the right, the scene morphs dramatically into a warmer, more organic palette, dominated by reds, yellows, and oranges. Here, an abstract depiction of a humanoid face emerges, characterized by closed eyes painted with thick lashes, and a tranquil expression. The eyes are a central element, resonating a sense of calm introspection. Beneath these eyes, the textures and colors soften, suggesting perhaps the gentle curve of cheeks or a nose, with circular motifs that might represent ornamental decorations or natural elements integrated into the mythic narrative of the landscape. Overall, the painting juxtaposes the cool tranquility of a mystical maritime journey with the warm, serene visage of a figure, possibly a deity, which infuses the landscape with a sense of mythological depth and contemplative silence. The division of the composition, with its contrasting environments and elements, invites viewers to traverse from a scene of external exploration to one of internal reflection, blending the boundaries between the real and the surreal.
