"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 shows a narrow street. Tall buildings line each side, painted in bright yellows and earthy tones. An archway connects the structures, creating a sense of depth. Light plays across the walls, casting shadows. Trees with green leaves spread overhead, adding contrast. The street is slightly curved and empty, inviting exploration. Regina Pečiulytė uses thick brushstrokes, adding texture and movement. The style feels impressionistic, focusing on light and color. Her work captures a lively, warm atmosphere.
