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+
The painting depicts a vibrantly colored corridor with arches that recede into the distance, creating a deep, tunnel-like effect. The walls are adorned with intricate, swirling patterns and detailed motifs that contribute to the rich texture of the scene. On the left, a series of vertical, elongated panels, possibly doors, in radiant hues of red, orange, blue, and purple stand prominently. Their colors echo the fiery tones that dominate the painting. Each panel features decorative elements that resemble locks or traditional hardware, suggesting a symbolic or literal path of entry. The floor mirrors the intensity of the walls with dynamic shades of red, orange, and yellow, suggesting a carpet or pathway ablaze with colors that seem to flow like lava. To the left, a decorative, tiled wall introduces cooler tones with hints of blue and purple, providing a visual contrast to the warmth of the other elements. The archway on the right side of the image, painted in bold reds and oranges, frames a darker, indistinct end of the corridor, drawing the eye towards a mysterious vanishing point that invites curiosity about what lies beyond. Overall, the painting exudes a dreamlike quality, rich with color and elaborate design, inviting viewers to ponder its deeper meanings or simply get lost in its fantastical ambiance.
