"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+
This painting, titled "The Blue Coast" by Regina Pečiulytė, captures a vibrant seaside scene. The bright blue ocean stretches across the canvas. It meets rocky cliffs topped with lush greenery. A small white building stands near the edge, blending with the natural surroundings. The style used is impressionistic. This is seen in the bold, textured brushstrokes. They create movement and depth. Colors are vivid and lively, adding energy to the scene. The play of light and shadow gives it a dynamic feel. Pečiulytė's work beautifully captures the essence of a coastal paradise.
