Artwork in the room
Vidas Pinkevičius (1949–2012) was born in Gruzdžiai, in Lithuania’s Šiauliai district. He received his formal art training at the Vilnius Art Institute, where he graduated in 1973, specializing in wall-painting and mosaic. Following his graduation, Pinkevičius immediately joined the Klaipėda Adomas Brakas Children Art School as a staff member, a position he held and contributed to until his passing in 2012.
Throughout his career, Pinkevičius was an active participant in art exhibitions, where he primarily displayed oil paintings. His works are included in private collections throughout the United States, Russia, Lithuania, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and other countries, attesting to his broad international recognition. He held over forty solo exhibitions in Lithuania and took part in international exhibitions in Russia, Sweden, and the USA.
Vidas Pinkevičius’s art was characterized by figure compositions interwoven with mythological and symbolic content, as well as compelling landscapes. Among recurring subjects in his paintings were blossoming solitary apple trees, gardens, fresh spring meadows, and the understated greys of autumn. Motifs from Lithuanian folklore and biblical stories were also prominent in his work, reflecting his strong connection to cultural heritage. Expressionism remained the hallmark of his artistic style.
His talent has been formally recognized in Lithuania, where four of his paintings are included in the Lithuanian Art Museum’s collection. Noteworthy as well is his 1986 admission to the Lithuanian Artist Union, affirming his established status within the Lithuanian artistic community.

About this artwork+
This painting is vibrant and full of life. You see a collection of buildings, possibly representing an old town. The scene shows houses in various sizes with features like windows and doors swiftly sketched. The colors are bold and blend into each other, creating a lively atmosphere. In the lower part of the painting, there's a reflection, as though the town is mirrored on water. This adds a dreamy quality to the piece. The strokes are visible and dynamic, suggesting movement and energy. The style of Vidas Pinkevičius here is quite expressive. He uses thick, textural applications of paint, which gives the artwork a tactile feel. This approach enhances the rustic and historic vibe of the depicted scene. His use of exaggerated forms and intense colors pulls viewers into the streets of Klaipėda, making them feel the charm and history of the place. Overall, "Klaipėda. Old Home" is a beautiful, imaginative display of this Lithuanian city's character, masterfully rendered by Pinkevičius.
