"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."

The painting by Regina Pečiulytė is full of autumn charm. It shows a sunlit scene touched by frost. We see tall trees with leaves in shades of yellow, orange, and green. The branches seem to dance in the gentle breeze. The ground is covered with a soft layer of fallen leaves. Light and shadow play across the scene, creating depth. The painting captures the crisp morning feel. Pečiulytė uses bold brushstrokes. The style is impressionistic, focusing on the effects of light. Colors blend skillfully, bringing warmth to the chilly morning. It’s a peaceful and vibrant piece, evoking the essence of autumn.
