The color palette is warm, filled with shades of gold, brown, and hazy blues. Milda Jonušauskienė uses a soft, almost dreamlike style to portray this urban landscape. Smudges and washes of color contribute to a sense of mystique and age. This creates a feeling of nostalgia, as if viewing the city through a veil of time. Her technique blends clarity and blur, giving both definition and an ethereal quality to the structures. The use of light and shadow enhances the textural effects, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the old-world charm of Vilnius.
