Artwork in the room
Timotiejus Norvila, better known by his moniker Morfai, stands out as one of Lithuania's trailblazers in street art. His artistic presence is especially evident in the cityscapes of Kaunas, Vilnius, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, and Joniškis, where his unmistakable style and creative vision have made a memorable impact on public spaces.
Noted for embracing a wide variety of artistic methods, Morfai resists limitations to any single medium or technique. His creative pursuits encompass photography, illustration, painting, street art, installations, and the development of design objects. This versatility enables him to continuously broaden and renew his artistic expression.
One of his best-known works, "The Sower," can be found in the garden of the Kaunas Military Museum. Morfai’s art frequently delves into diverse themes, touching upon universal aspects of human existence, and his artistic influence is felt not only in Lithuania but also in Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Spain.
In 2020, Morfai produced a series of design objects called "Anvils in the style of interwar architecture," a project that garnered him the award for best sculpture/installation at the international art exhibition ART Vilnius. He regularly provides an inside view of his creative process and showcases his work on YouTube vlogs, where he discusses his thematic and technical experiments—a journey that began with his first exhibitions in 2003.
About this artwork+
The painting entitled "Star 2" by Timotiejus Norvila (Morfai) showcases a captivating abstract composition dominated by sharp geometric shapes, primarily angular triangles and fragments that create a dynamic and fragmented star-like form. The color palette is rich in earthy tones, ranging from deep browns to golds, interspersed with specks of white and darker brown, giving the appearance of a coarse, perhaps sandy texture. The arrangement of these triangles and their shades suggest a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas in a starburst pattern that mimics the twinkling of a star or the explosive dispersal of light.
