"Over the past few years I have concentrated on the urban landscape genre. Old Vilnius—empty, contemplative, decaying, and alive all the while—is my most frequent (but not only) protagonist. My manner of painting utilises impasto and is expressionistic, sometimes approaching realism. The city matters to me not only as material form and shape but as a singular place of being that contains glimpses of a multi-layered past and shelters a soul unique to it. I aim not only to understand and portray that soul but also to reflect on, interpret, and recreate it in my own way. This gives the objective city vista a subjective, personal turn."

About this artwork+
The painting "First Snow" by Regina Pečiulytė captures a winter scene. Bare trees stand tall beside a snowy path. Their branches twist and turn against the pale sky. A house with a red roof peeks through the trees in the background. The landscape feels quiet and cold, touched by the first snow. Pečiulytė uses bold, expressive strokes. The colors are rich and textured. The style is impressionistic, focusing on light and movement. You feel the chill and beauty of winter. The painting invites you to pause and look closer. It captures a fleeting moment with vivid emotion.
