Vytautas Jūrevičius, a Lithuanian artist, completed his studies at the Lithuanian State Art Institute (today known as the Vilnius Academy of Arts) in 1977. Not long after graduating, he began his artistic career, and by 1981, he devoted himself fully to creative work. Throughout his career, Jūrevičius has participated in numerous exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad, with his art being presented in countries including Finland, the United Arab Emirates, France, and the United States.
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. These affiliations emphasize his important role in the Lithuanian art scene and his dedication to advancing contemporary art in his homeland.
About this artwork+
The painting features an expressive composition centered around a green vase containing a vibrant arrangement of fruits and flowers. Three bananas, yellow in color and curving outward, dominate the upper section. Below them, a cluster of grapes in hues of purple and red extends from delicate branches. Oranges add a pop of brighter color near the bananas. Set against a backdrop that uses a patterned mosaic of varying shapes, including an abstract tile-like design, the scene evokes a sense of lush abundance. The colors are rich and earthy, outlined heavily in black which accentuates each element. In the upper right corner, a mysterious black and white object resembling a fish adds an intriguing note to the tableau. The tablecloth under the vase features bold, striped patterns, contributing to the overall dynamic and textured appearance of the work.
