"K. Česonytė’s paintings are variations on Expressionist painting: characterized by a trembling touch, energetic brushstrokes, and expressive paint textures with which she often seems to 'sculpt' figures, objects, and landscape elements. In terms of genre, the scope of her work is quite traditional. Landscapes predominate, though the artist has also painted a series of still lifes, numerous urban scenes, and the occasional stylized portrait. Yet, other aspects of K. Česonytė’s painting align her less with classical modernist art and more with the imagery of the contemporary, media-saturated world. 'My tools are the computer and virtual space,' she says. The visual imagery in her paintings derives not from reality itself, but from a virtual—or secondary—reality. For this creative artist, however, that serves merely as a springboard or a starting signal that liberates both imagination and hand. In her work, this secondary reality—or a chance motif—and the artist’s imagination most often intertwine inseparably. Images suggested by modern media are transformed into authentic visions, deeply and sensitively experienced by the painter herself."

About this artwork+

This painting shows a cluster of flowers that look vibrant and wild. Some are yellow and others are deep purple. The background is a textured blue, giving everything a cool tone. Kristina Česonytė used thick brush strokes. This style adds depth and makes the flowers pop out, almost like they're 3D. It's like looking at an actual garden patch. The style feels a bit old-fashioned, which fits the title. Think of old tapestries or faded paintings in a grandmother's house. Yet, there's a modern twist in the way the colors clash and dance together. Overall, it's a charming blend of past and present art styles. Kristina did a great job of bringing these flowers to life on canvas.
