One of his significant pieces is the tapestry "For mother of a perished soldier," which is held in the Museum of Applied Arts and Design. This work in particular highlights both his technical skill and emotional depth as an artist. Besides his tapestry work, Vytautas Jūrevičius also accepts commissions, producing art tailored to clients’ requests. His works are found in private collections within Lithuania and internationally, indicating the broad recognition of his artistic abilities.
At present, Vytautas Jūrevičius is dedicated to painting, with a strong focus on oil techniques. This shift illustrates both his versatility and ongoing growth as an artist. Whether working in tapestry or oil, his pieces are marked by meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful artistic expression.
Jūrevičius is an active participant in the Lithuanian Artists’ Association and has been officially recognized as an artist by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania.

About this artwork+
This painting by Vytautas Jūrevičius, titled "Still-life With a Red Table," shows a vibrant and colorful scene. The image features two main elements: a bunch of yellow fruits (maybe lemons) placed on a boldly colored blue and orange table, and a large potted plant with broad leaves beside it. The style Jūrevičius used here is quite expressive. The colors are vivid and the shapes are stylized rather than realistic. The textures on the fruits, leaves, and table appear thickly applied, giving a tactile feel to the surfaces. The artwork conveys a cheerful and lively mood through its use of bright colors and simple yet bold forms. This painting is a good example of Jūrevičius's style, which often incorporates elements of nature with a strong, graphic quality.
