Viktoras Šatunovas was born in 1952 in Vilnius, Lithuania. His artistic path began early, as he graduated from the Vienožinskis Art School in Vilnius in 1967, establishing a solid groundwork for his later work in the arts. In 1975, he completed his education at the Belarusian Academy of Arts in Minsk, where he majored in painting and graphic arts.
Šatunovas continued to refine his mastery at the Leningrad Academy of Arts, where he immersed himself in various printmaking methods such as lithography, etching, block printing, and linen engraving. His involvement with professional organizations started in 1978 when he became a member of the USSR Artists’ Union, and after Lithuania gained independence, he joined the Lithuanian Artists' Association in 1991.
During his artistic career, Šatunovas has engaged with a wide array of forms, producing posters and paintings in addition to illustrating books. From 1990 onward, his creative activity expanded to include writing children’s books as well as illustrating them, marking him as a prominent figure in book art. His accomplishments in book graphics have earned him numerous diplomas at international exhibitions and competitions.
Viktoras Šatunovas has illustrated over 150 books, with more than 20 million copies published in Russia, the United States, South Africa, Japan, Lithuania, and other countries. His paintings are part of private collections in nations such as Russia, the United States, Israel, Germany, Sweden, and Lithuania, demonstrating his extensive international reach and impact in the art community.

About this artwork+
In the painting, an array of vivid, almost psychedelic colors creates a complex, symmetrical composition that seems to explode outward from the center. Dominant in the center is a heart shape layered with multiple colors, suggesting depth and emotion. Above the heart, an arrow-like structure points upward, flanked by forms resembling elongated horns or tusks, contributing to a sense of upward movement or ascension. The central elements are surrounded by fantastic, wing-like shapes that burst outward in a kaleidoscope of hues—pinks, blues, yellows, and greens. These shapes are adorned with intricate patterns and smaller, detailed motifs that could be floral or ornamental, adding to the overall fantastical and dynamic feel of the work. Curving forms that suggest motion and fluidity flank the sides of the painting, and delicate line drawings in the background hint at more subtle, possibly nautical elements, like the hint of a ship or the vague outline of sails. The background shifts from a calming teal at the bottom to a radiant yellow at the top, suggesting a landscape or a time of day, perhaps dawn or dusk. Overall, the painting exudes a sense of vibrant life, movement, and a joyful complexity, inviting the viewer to unravel its myriad details and revel in its vivid color palette.
